I love lentils. They have such a hearty filling flavor and texture that makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. For this recipe I used the Trader Joe's steamed lentils which are absolutely delicious. They have so much flavor that it doesn't take much to make them delicious. I like preparing the lentils separately because the can over cook and become mushy.
