Step 2
In a medium size stock pot on medium heat, saute onions and garlic with a tbsp of vegetable oil until soft and tender.  The onions and garlic should have no colour.

Step 3
Add Lentils to the stock pot. Add cold water to the pot, enough to more than cover the lentils by 1/4 in volume, and bring to a boil.  Then reduce to a simmer.

Once liquid is lowered to a simmer, add spices , fresh herbs and bay leaves.  Cover with lid and simmer until lentils are tender and soft to the touch.
