Lentil And Apple Salad

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
• salt to taste
• 1 cup green or brown lentils
• 2 cups water
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tart red apples, diced (Braeburn or Cameos work well)
• juice of one lemon

1. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat; add garlic and cook until soft, but not brown (2-3 minutes).
2. Stir in spices and lentils and mix together well. Cook until fragrant (2 minutes).
3. Add water and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are soft and the water is absorbed (25-35 minutes).
4. In a large bowl, combine lentils, red onion slices, apples, and lemon juice. Serve warm or at room temperature (for the latter, let the lentil-onion mixture cool for 30 minutes before adding the apples and lemon juice).
