Lentils, they're good for you

This is a recipe for a meal that not only is inexpensive, it's good for you.
With cool nights headed our way, this recipe is easy and inexpensive to make.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb lentils ( I like the black ones at Trader Joe's)
2 0r 3 Roma tomatoes, 1 onion chopped ( I use shallots)
1 bay leaf, 2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup water

Rinse lentils, chop tomatoes, put all ingredients in a pot. Simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese, serve with crusty bread and a nice glass of red wine. Enjoy.

Lentils are awesome! they are very high in protein, which is great for non-meat eaters out there. Speaking of Trader Joes, there is a great lentil soup that is really good and only takes 2-3 mins. to make! really great for lunch in hurry, as all of us college students always are.
