Delicious And Easy Lentils

Don't let the ease of the recipe fool you - it is fabulous! I got this recipe from my mom and it is one of my absolute favorite lentil dishes (i often double it). It can also easily be made into a vegetarian (omit canadian bacon) or vegan (omit the canadian bacon/cheese and use olive oil in place of butter) dish.

Steps

Lightly brown the canadian bacon over med heat.
Add butter , onion , and carrots and saute for 5 minutes.
Add water , lentils , salt and herbs.
Cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Add the parmesan cheese and serve.

Ingredients

canadian bacon, butter, carrot, onion, water, lentils, salt, marjoram, dried parsley, parmesan cheese
