Sour Lentils

4 servings

Ingredients

• Lentils (as needed)
• Onion sauce (a little)
• Bacon (a little)
• Onions (a little)
• Vinegar (a little)
• Roux (a little)

Instructions

1. Cook the lentils until done like peas, but do not mash them through a colander.
2. Serve them drained and pour onion sauce over them, or cook them until tender with a piece of bacon and onions, and stir some vinegar and roux into the broth, which should not be reduced too much.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
