--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Lentils
  4       c            Vegetable broth or water
  1                    Bay leaf
  3       tb           Margarine
  1       lg           Onion, chopped

  1       c            Coarsely ground bulgur

 Rinse the lentils & put in a pot with enough broth to cover. Add bay leaf,
 bring to a boil & keep covered. Turn off heat & let stand for 30 minutes.

 While the lentils are soaking, melt margarine in a heavy pot. Add chopped
 onion, salt & pepper.  Saute till onions are tender & transparent.

 When onions are ready, keep heat at medium, stir in bulgur & continue
 stirring till all the margarine is absorbed. Lower heat to a simmer & add
 the rest of the broth & lentils in their broth. Bring to a boil, reduce
 heat again, cover tightly & simmer till all the liquid has been absorbed.
 Add more liquid till the bulgur & lentils are cooked. Remove bay leaf &
 serve with a vegetable stew.
