Description
A simple lentil side dish featuring pearl onions and bay leaf, gently simmered until creamy yet firm. An easy accompaniment to roasted meats or vegetarian meals.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound brown or green lentils
  • 12 ounce frozen pearl onions
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Water, as needed
Directions
  1. 1
    Rinse the lentils thoroughly and drain.
  2. 2
    Place the lentils, frozen pearl onions and bay leaf in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the ingredients by about 1 inch.
  3. 3
    Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook gently for 20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Uncover, stir in the salt and add a little more water if necessary so the lentils are just covered.
  5. 5
    Cover and continue simmering for 10 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and creamy but still hold their shape.
  6. 6
    Remove the bay leaf and serve warm.
