  3. While they simmer, chop onion (1-2 clove garlic is optional, not required) and saute in oil with cayenne and black pepper. when the onion is translucent, add 2 medium-sized tomatoes, chopped, and sautee until they start to lose their form. then dump the contents of the skillet into the lentils, stir. put in a bunch of paprika, stir.

  4. Simmer until lentils are no longer hard. at this point you can add chopped петрушка, cover and remove from heat
