Lentils/ Hoppin' JohnSoak lentils or black eyed peas overnight. Drain. Simmer until almost tender enough in enough water to cover. Add salt, pepper, 1 cut up tomato, 2 buds garlic on toothpicks, 2 TBSP olive oil and a few slices of onion. Simmer until tender.
To make lentils into a meal, I boil medium elbow macaroni according to package directions and add to lentils. For one cup cooked lentils add about 1 to 2 cups cooked macaroni. You figure it out. And make sure to fish out the garlic. You will be unpleasantly surprised if you mistake it for a macaroni.
Hoppin' John is wonderful served over Basmati rice.
