INGREDIENTS

- 1/2 cup dried lentils

- 2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

- 1 cup onion, sliced

- 2 medium cloves garlic, crushed

- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced

DIRECTIONS

Place lentils in a strainer and discard any

stones that you find. Rinse and drain.

Place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat

and add chicken broth. Bring to a rolling boil.

Pour lentils into the pot slowly so that the water does not stop boiling.

Add the onion and garlic. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer 20

minutes. Check after 15 minutes to see if the pan is dry. Add 1/4 cup water

if needed. If there is too much liquid, remove lid and boil to evaporate.

Remove from heat and add vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.

Toss well. Place on individual plates with the sliced pork arranged on top

and sliced tomatoes on the side.
