Directions

1Mix all ingredients (except chives) together in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low/medium to retain a low simmer and cook, covered, for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed, mixture is thick, and lentils are tender. Add more salt to taste if needed.

2Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives, if desired.
