The ingredients for (Better Than They Look) Lentils are:

1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 tbsp canola oil
1.5 tsp cumin (ground)
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup (dry) green lentils
3 C vegetable stock or water
1/2 - 1 t salt (how much you need will depend on whether you use stock or water
2 medium tomatoes, diced

Here is how you make (Better Than They Look) Lentils:

Chop your veg, and rinse lentils thoroughly. Heat oil and fry off cumin, onions and garlic until fragrant and lightly golden. You may need to add a dash or two of water at this stage to prevent sticking.Add stock (or water), lentils, diced tomatoes, salt (I add the salt at the beginning because I'm good at gauging how much something will need, but you might like to add it at the end) and simmer, covered, for one hour or until the lentils are soft. You may need to cook a bit longer with the lid off to reduce any liquid left over. Serve with lemon wedges, squeeze the lemon juice over the lentils. (This is not only delicious, but the vitamin C will aid the absorption of iron).
