Recipe:
7 Cups Water
2 tsp. sea salt
1 (12oz.) bag brown lentils
5 whole garlic cloves, diced or whole, your choice
1 tbs. fresh oregano
1 cup olive oil
1 large onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Rinse lentils well. In a large pot, heat olive oil, then add lentils, onions, garlic, and salt. Allow them to sauté and marry for about 5 minutes. Add hot water. Cover and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a slow simmer, then simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and plump or fully cooked. Remove the cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the soup becomes thick. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons of vinegar. If needed, season with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls and drizzle additional herb vinegar as desired.
