A bowl of lazy lentils

Archaeological studies show that humans have been eating lentils for up to 13,000 years. You know why? Because lentils are great! They’re a healthy source of protein, and they’re easy to throw together in all kinds of dishes. This is a simple but warming dish that’s full of flavour.

There's more where this came from!

1 ½ cups green, black, or brown lentils, rinsed
4 cups vegetable stock or broth
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper (optional)
½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
