I wanted to savor lentils, so I made a simple braised dish. The white wine vinegar adds an accent to the dish.

Step 1: you could just rise the lentils if you're strapped for time. Make sure you drain the impurities well.
Step 2: use hot water, and not cold.
Step 5: skim off the scum diligently. Recipe by cafe0305

Steps

1

Soak the lentils in plenty of water for about 30 minutes. Rinse to discard impurities and drain in a sieve.
2

Fry the finely chopped onion in olive oil without burning.
3

After the onion has softened, add the lentils and ★ ingredients.
4

Simmer over low heat and skim off the scums. As the cooking liquid evaporates, add enough hot water to submerge the lentils.
5

Add hot water in 2-3 batches. Simmer until there's no scum on the surface for about 30 minutes.
6

Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Serve.
