| 1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, when hot, brown the onions. | 2. Add the lentils and then cover with water (will depend on pot size). | 3. Add all other ingrediants and bring to the boil. | 4. Turn heat to low and simmer until the mixture thickens. Add more water if required and stir often so that the mixture doesn't stick to the pan. | 5. Continue checking and stirring for approx 1 hour or until the mixture is the consistancy of cooked oatmeal (or until lentils are tender and tasty!). | 6. Serve with your favourite taco setup. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
