Lentils With Onions and Tomatoes image

This is a wonderful, easy to prepare lentil dish that I received from a friend. She had attended a potluck where she sampled this Kenyan dish that her co-worker prepared from her home country. Delicious!

Categories     Lentil

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup lentils
1 chicken bouillon cubes or 1 veggie bouillon cube
2 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Put lentils, bouillon cube, and water into a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer until lentils are soft and most of the water is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate saute pan, add oil and onions and saute until onions are soft and browned.
  • Stir in tomatoes, garlic powder, and rosemary. Let cook over medium heat until tomatoes are cooked down a bit, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine lentils and onion mixture, stirring well.
  • Adjust temperature to low. Pour in whipping cream, stirring gently.
  • Allow to heat through on low for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
