Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup brown lentils
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 bunch chard
1/2 cup orange lentils
salt and pepper

Lentils do not have to soaked. Into 7 cups of boiling water, throw the brown lentils with the turmeric. Let simmer for 20 minutes. Add the chard and bring back to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes more. Add the orange lentils and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. The lentils should have soaked up all of the water and can be served at once, though it will do no harm to let them rest in the warm pan.

Serves 3

(Julia's note: I added some toasted sesame oil and it made this dish even better. You can find bulk turmeric and both colors of lentils at health food stores and asian markets.)

ChupaNote: add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Serve with brown basmati rice and chapati.
