Indian-Style Lentils With Fresh Herbs And Grilled Garlic Naan

Ingredients:

• 1 cup small green or brown lentils
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 yellow onions, one peeled and diced, the other cut into quarters
• 6 Tablespoons Garlic Gold^® Oil ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, torn in half if large
• ½ cup fresh basil, cut into small julienne strips
• ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, torn in half if large
• Sea Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Garlic Gold^® Nuggets for garnish

Grilled Garlic Naan

• 6 pieces Naan bread
• ¼ cup Garlic Gold^® (nuggets in oil), with contents allowed to settle

Instructions:

Fill medium sized soup kettle ¾ of the way with water. Add the lentils, onions, and bay leaves. Drain and rinse lentils well, discarding onion and bay leaves. Set aside.

Set aside ¼ cup of the fresh basil. Heat the Garlic Gold^® Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron, on medium heat for several minutes; add all of the herbs except ¼ cup of the basil, and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the lentils and cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until lentils are heated through. Season with salt, pepper and Garlic Gold^® Nuggets to taste; remove from heat, and stir in remaining basil strips.

Serve with Grilled Garlic Naan bread for dipping (recipe follows).
