Reunion Lentils (Les Lentilles)

Ingredients:

250 g lentils

1 large onion

4 tbsp oil

2 tsp ground cumin

Leaves from 1 sprig thyme

Salt to taste

Oil

Cooking Instructions:

Add the lentils to a casserole pot with 400 ml water and simmer for about 25 minutes until soft. Slice the onions in thin slices and fry in the oil for a few minutes before adding crushed garlic and cumin. Season with salt and cook until the garlic turns golden. Add the lentils and 250ml water and cook for 20 minutes. Add a little more water if the sauce becomes dry. By the end you should have a lentil purée. Serve with rice.
