Instructions
Start by prepping the vegetables - chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Bring a large pot to medium heat with a little extra virgin olive oil. Add in the onions only, and sauté for a few minutes until onions are translucent. Then, add in the garlic and sauté for another minute or so, until garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown!
Once onions and garlic are done sautéing, add in vegetable stock and water and bring to a simmer. Then, add in lentils and spices and simmer until lentils are nice and soft, about 15-20 minutes.
