Red Lentils, Corn & Peas

This dish is so healthy for you and very good.
The red lentils turn a pale orange color.
All you need is a pot of simmering water,
adding herbs and spices to create a tasty side dish.
I add in a few slices of bacon for a flavor boost.

Ingredients:
1 cup dried red lentils
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup diced red onion
4 cups cold water
2 slices of apple smoked bacon
herbs and spices to your taste
sour cream or Greek yogurt

Directions:
Place lentils, diced onion, frozen corn,
frozen peas and bacon slices in a sauce pot,
season with dried herbs and spices of your choice.
Cover lentils with cold water, bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer until lentils are soft.
Depending on which lentil, about one hour or so.
Remove cooked bacon slices, drain and serve warm
with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
