1 cup dried lentils, rinsed and drained
5 cups water or stock
1 small yellow onion, chopped
8 whole cloves garlic
1/4 cup minced fresh herbes such as cilantro, Italian parsley & dill
Soy sauce
Sea salt and black pepper
1. Place all ingredients except herbs, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a medium size pot over medium-high heat.
