Directions:
- Wash and drain 1 cup dried lentils. Place in pot with 3 cups water and 1 tsp salt and 1 tablespoons crushed red pepper.
- Bring to boil and boil hard for 3 or 4 minute (3 is good) Remove from heat and cover, let stand 45 minutes till tender but still firm.
- Drain lentils in sieve (to keep the crushed red pepper from going down drain.).
- HAVE READY the dressing which has been mixed in a big bowl.
- Toss the dressing with the lentils and chill.
- Serve chilled or room temperature with small halved pita breads.
- Carol's note: I sometimes add the oil last so as to reduce amount if it seems wise. Have made it without oil, it's quite good. Humphrey Johnson, author of recipe suggested garnishes: black olives, sieved hard boiled egg, parsley and whatever. I have never been able to locate fresh whatevers though I suspect that Trader Joe has them in season.
