Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Rinse the lentils and soak them in water.

Prepare the vegetable broth (water + carrot + onion + celery + a bunch of parsley + black pepper + bay leaf).
Step 3
In a deep saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until golden brown.
Step 4
Pour the vegetable broth into the saucepan, add the lentils, draining the soaking water first. Cook the lentils until fully tender. Five minutes before finishing, season with salt and pepper, and add the dried herbs.

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Cut the other half into thin wedges.
