    1       c            Lentils
    4       c            Vegetable broth or water
    1                    Bay leaf
    3       tb           Margarine
    1       lg           Onion, chopped
                         Salt & pepper
    1       c            Coarsely ground bulgur
 
   Rinse the lentils & put in a pot with enough broth to cover. Add bay leaf,
   bring to a boil & keep covered. Turn off heat & let stand for 30 minutes.
   
   While the lentils are soaking, melt margarine in a heavy pot. Add chopped
   onion, salt & pepper.  Saute till onions are tender & transparent.
   
   When onions are ready, keep heat at medium, stir in bulgur & continue
   stirring till all the margarine is absorbed. Lower heat to a simmer & add
   the rest of the broth & lentils in their broth. Bring to a boil, reduce
   heat again, cover tightly & simmer till all the liquid has been absorbed.
   Add more liquid till the bulgur & lentils are cooked. Remove bay leaf &
   serve with a vegetable stew.
