Egyptian Style Lentils

Ingredients:

1 cup dried lentils
3 cups water
2 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (less the rhine)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Lettuce leaves and chopped scallions for garnish

Combine the lentils and water in a pot over moderate heat and bring to
boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Drain and refrigerate the lentils until chilled. Add the olive oil, lemon
juice, salt and pepper just prior to serving. Serve on a bed of lettuce and
garnish with chopped scallions. So wonderful!
