1 1/2-2 Cups Lentils, dried
Water to soak plus an additional 3 cups Water
1-1/2 Cups Onions, sliced
1 Cup Apricots, dried, chopped (I usually add more)
1 Bell Pepper, chopped (any color...I use red)
6 large Tomatoes
2 or 3 Parsley Sprigs, chopped
1 Tsp. Mint, Fresh or Dried (I like fresh:))
¼ Tsp. Allspice, ground
¼ Tsp. Cinnamon, ground
¼ Tsp. Cayenne or Hot Red Pepper (adjust to taste)
1 Tbsp. Paprika
I like to soak my lentils overnight, rinse them, then throw them into my slow cooker for about 2-3 hours.
Take the lentils out of the crock-pot. Drain excess water, place them in a large pot add about 3 cups of water. Place tomatoes in a food processor...I reccomend leaving them a bit chunky. Add the tomatoes to the pot. Turn the heat on medium.
While the lentils are cooking you should chop your onion, apricots, bell pepper parsley and mint. Add each ingredient individually as you finish chopping it.
Add the Allspice, Cinnamon, Cayenne, and Paprika to the pot.
Cook on medium heat for approx 20 min. (stir occasionally)
Turn off heat and allow to cool a bit....then devour!!!!
It aslo tastes great luke-warm and cold!!

Note: For some of you it may be easier to use canned tomatoes, but I wouldn't reccomend it.
