You could also add a chicken boullion if you like (I like Goya, not too salty) or even a small can (8 ounce) tomate sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook til the lentils are tender.(About 1 hour) Then I cook some pastina in a seperate pot and add it to the lentils. You could make any type of small macaroni or leave the lentils plain. Also you can top each bowl with grated romano or parmesean cheese.
Hope this helps.
I do almost an exact replica of the method above, or alternately, (surprise surprise....) I CURRY them
