This delicious recipe has been generously shared by one of our great cooks, Carina. She’s always coming up with great recipes, and here we have Carina’s Caramelized Onions and Lentils
Carina tells me it’s one of her hubby’s favourites, so much so, she has to keep him out of the kitchen until she is ready to serve dinner!!
The smells when this is cooking is wonderful.
It’s an easy recipe, and here, Carina has served her caramelised onions and lentils with BBQ chicken breast.

22nd December 2015 at 2:31 amAre the lentils canned? What makes up the sauce looking part of the recipe?
Lovefoodies says
22nd December 2015 at 9:24 amHi Kristin, you can use dried or canned lentils. Obviously if you use dried, you will need to soak and cook them first. As for the sauce, there is not a lot of sauce, what you see in the photos is the caramelization from the onions and butter. The onions will give off some liquid during cooking. Hope that helps!
