Not together, of course.
Lentils are a good-for-you legume that is easy to prepare, and difficult to mess up. Here are my basic instructions for fabulous lentils in a crock pot:
Dump
a bag of lentils
4-6 cups or so water or broth, depending on how soupy you want it
1-2 cans diced tomatoes with juice
about 2 cups diced carrots
about 2 cups diced celery
one chopped onion
2 minced cloves of garlic
one leftover ham bone
a cup or two diced leftover ham
one really good squeeze of KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce (squeeze must last a good 5 seconds)
couple shakes of oregano, basil, Lowry’s Seasoning Salt, blackening spices, etc.
and a scant tsp. of brown sugar
into a large crock pot, and cook on high for 7 hours or until lentils are at the desired mushy-tensity.
The kids love it with cornbread and honey.
And what do kids who eat all their lentils get for dessert?
Ice cream cones, of course.

A few weeks ago, on a whim, I bought a bag of lentils. I had no plans for them, absolutely no “know how” about how to prepare them, I just bought them. Now I know what I will do with them! Thanks, friend.
And Judah… I wish he could come eat ice cream at my house!
A good 5 second squeeze….ha-ha…you cook like I do!
Thanks for posting this…Eric is never too thrilled when I fix lentils but I think this is a no-fail recipe!
