Ingredients: (For 4 Persons)

• 300 gr. lentils
• 2 medium dried onions finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic chopped
• 2 ripe tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon tomato pancake
• 3/4 cups Tea olive oil
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons of vinegar
• 1/4 t. sweet sugar
• 1/2 tbl. Sweet oregano
• salt – freshly ground pepper

Instructions:

1. Clean the tomatoes and put them into the blender.

2. Boil the lentils in water to cover them for 5 minutes, strain them, rinse them in a colander, and throw the water.

3. Put in a saucepan, medium heat, onions, garlic, oil and sauté until they become transparent. Add the lentils and continue the salad, for 3 more minutes. Put the peel, tomato juice, bay leaves, sugar, oregano, salt, pepper, and cold water, two to three fingers over the lentils.
