When do you add the lentils? How long do we need to cook them? - 1/11/13

Dee-lish dish. I sauteed the onion in olive oil and used homemade broth and a bay leaf. I also used parsley instead of cilantro. - 5/31/10

Glad you liked it! I forgot to add in my directions that I steam fry in water to avoid the use of oil so your dish has a few more calories/fat.
