Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until tender (taste to assess doneness).
Drain the excess liquid. Taste and if serving as is, season with additional salt and pepper (and maybe a drizzle of olive oil). Add chopped fresh herbs or a little minced garlic to make a tasty side. Or use it in salad recipes like my French lentil salad.
