Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until tender (taste to assess doneness).

Step 2

Drain the excess liquid. Taste and if serving as is, season with additional salt and pepper (and maybe a drizzle of olive oil). To make a tasty side, add chopped fresh herbs or a little minced garlic. Or, use in salad recipes like our French lentil salad.
