cooking lentils

lentils are fun,
here is how I cook them,
I take an onion or 2 and cut them up and put them in a pan with a bit of oil (like a teaspoon) and water (you will have to keep adding as it boils out), and put it on low heat for a few hours, you don't want to get it hot enough to caramelize the onions

 near the end of cooking (like 1/2 hour to go) add turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, cardamom or what ever spices you like (most people seem to like salt as well), it gets dark if you have added enough,

that first part is the sauce, 
then cook you cook the lentils, start them about 1/2 hour before the sauce finishes to get everything to end at the same time. I have to rinse them in boiling water 3 times while I cook, and at that point they are done.

then mix teh 2 together and serve.

have you all been thinking about seeds ?
