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.

  1. Oh this is so good! I added a splash of balsamic vinegar to the onions where they were almost done which brightens their flavor up. A keeper for sure.

    • Hi 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!
