Esau'S Pottage

• 1/2 cup dried lentils
• 1 tablespoon salad oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• water, to cover
• 1/4 cup salad oil
• 2 onions, sliced (1/4-inch slice)
• 1 lb ground lamb (since it can be hard to find ground lamb I've thrown in a couple of shoulder chops and shredded them)
• 1 1/2 cups stewed tomatoes (15oz)
• 1/2 cup sliced carrot
• 1/2 cup diced celery (I just slice)
• 1/2 cup diced green pepper
• 1/2 cup diced parsnip (slice)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups water

1. Mix together and soak overnight: Lentils oil,salt and water to cover.
2. Drain and discard liquid next day. (I have also eliminated this entire step without a problem).
3. Heat Pressure Cooker and add remaining ingredients along with the lentils.
4. Pressure cook for 20 min and let pressure drop on it's own.
5. I usually use more veggies and it comes out almost like a stew instead of a soup.
6. The parsnips really help to make this so try to include them.
