A slow cooker makes it quick and easy to put together a really tasty dinner! I love all kinds of lentils and cook them often. With green lentils, my favorites are soup and a no-fuss dish like lentils with vegetables. And cooking in a slow cooker is a pure pleasure! A perfect dish for a fast or a vegetarian diet.

- Rinse the lentils and soak them for an hour to an hour and a half. While they soak, make the vegetable base: cut the garlic clove into thin strips, grate the carrot on the coarse side of a box grater, and dice the onion. Select the "Sauté" setting and pour oil into the slow cooker bowl. Add the garlic and cook it until fragrant, then remove it from the bowl. Add the onion and carrot and cook until the onion turns golden. Now drain the lentils, rinse them, and add them straight to the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the water and add the salt and spices. Close the lid, select the "Rice" (or "Buckwheat") setting, and set the time to 20 minutes. While it cooks, wash, dry, and chop the herbs. When the program beeps that it's done, open the lid and taste the lentils. If they seem a bit firm, cook them on the same setting for another 5 minutes. In my slow cooker they usually come out perfect in that time. Once the lentils are ready, stir in the chopped herbs, mix well, and serve while the dish is still hot. Enjoy!
