30-60 minutes
ingredients
1 cup lentils, cleaned and rinsed
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, cooked, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 red bell pepper, cooked, seeded and finely diced
1/4 pound mushrooms, cooked, sliced
1 large tomato, cooked, cubed
1/2 cup parsley
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
directions
Bring lentils to a boil in a saucepan with enough water to come approximately 3/4 inch above the lentils. Reduce heat to medium and cook 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are soft, adding more water if necessary. Strain lentils and set aside.
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan over a medium high heat. Saute garlic, onion and Cajun seasoning 4-5 minutes until onion is softened.
Add bell pepper, mushrooms and lentils. Cook 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes and fresh herbs and serve.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
