Lemony Lentils
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups yellow or brown lentils, sorted for debris and rinsed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- Grated peel from 1 lemon (yellow part only)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Chopped cilantro and lemon wedges
- Melt butter in a 3-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute.
- Add lentils and stir to coat with butter, then add broth. Simmer, covered, until lentils are tender but not mushy, 20 to 30 minutes. They will thicken as they cool.
- Stir in ginger, lemon peel, juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with chopped cilantro and lemon wedges on the side.
