1 clove garlic crushed/chopped
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup dried lentils, picked over, washed and drained
2 cups beef broth stock

1 cup packed swiss chard leaves (or bok choy leaves, or spinach for that matter!)
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion and garlic, sauteeing until soft, about 5 minutes. Add in the lentils, beef broth and water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer covered for 45 minutes on medium-low heat or until lentils are cooked.
