Believe it or not, lentils are easy to make, and they are healthy. Lentils make a great side dish, or even a main dish. Best of all they are inexpensive to make, and they are ready in about 30 minutes, so you can make these for dinner, and you don’t have to slave away all evening to prepare dinner for these. We used chicken stock to cook our lentils in, you could use plain water, or even vegetable stock if you wanted a vegetarian variety.
