Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Dried lentils
1 qt Water
2 ts Salt
1 lg Onion -- chopped fine
1/2 c Olive oil or bacon fat
2 dr Tabasco sauce -- up to 3 dr
Pick over the lentils, wash them thoroughly, add the water, and soak
overnight. If the water is dark and strong-flavored in the morning,
discard it and add 1 qt of fresh water and the salt. Simmer the
lentils in a covered pan from 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender but
not broken. Drain the lentils, and return 1 cup of the liquid to
them, or if necessary and enough water to the liquid to make 1 cup.
Cook the onion for a few minutes in the olive oil or bacon fat, add
the lentils, cook for a few minutes, and stir gently so that the
lentils are not broken. Add a few drops of tabasco and more salt if
needed. Serve hot.
