Lentils with yogurt and garlic

Just a quickie recipe: make lentils your usual way. For me, that means putting them in medium size crockpot, covering with vegetable (or chicken) broth up to near top of pot, dumping in an entire onion chopped, two (or three!) handfuls of peeled garlic buds, 1 Knorr’s bouillon cube (veg or chicken), 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon ground garlic, and 1 teaspoon of Bell’s Stuffing Seasoning. (I usually don’t add salt to my recipes so you might want to do that.)

After the beans are tender, I serve in bowls, adding a half (or whole) small carton of non-fat, plain yogurt to each bowl and stirring thoroughly.

There’s something about the onions, garlic, turmeric, cayenne, and yogurt that works well together and keeps the lentils from being plain ol’, plain ol’.

Just made a batch and had a bowl.

I haven’t commented on some of your latest posts, but I do read them with great interest! I especially like the looks of this (and do I recognize the bowl?) and I plan to make this (or a variation) soon!
Aloha,
Lucy

Thanks! No, the bowl you’re thinking of died in a microwave. This is a ceramic one I got here at a little Asian market. Thanks for commenting. I love comments.
