That out of the way, I thought I would say, I'm not the hugest fan of posting just for posting's sake, but since I have these super-licious photos of foodstuffs made with the results of my last Kitchen Project, Oven Roasted Tomatoes, I am compelled to share. They are just two examples of easy ways to incorporate such a tasty ingredient. The uses for this are only limited by your imagination for sure.

So to make this, you just simmer the lentils in a large pot of unsalted water (the water should come up an inch over how ever many lentils you threw in) with a clove or two of garlic and some minced rosemary. They will take about 30 minutes to cook at a medium-low simmer.
When they are done (fish one out and taste it, thats the best way to know, right?) add a generous amount of salt to the pot. Let sit for five more minutes with the flame off. Meanwhile, cook the bacon. Remove from the pan, blot and chop up. Drain the lentils, fish out the garlic, and put them into the pan you cooked the bacon in. Add the bacon back in. Season to taste and enjoy.
