Lentils with onions is a simple yet surprisingly tasty dish rooted in Greek culinary traditions. Lentils, one of the oldest foods, have nourished generations with their nutritional value and rich flavor. In this recipe, tender, soft lentils are paired with aromatic sautéed onions that add sweet caramelized notes. This duet creates a harmonious balance of flavors—rich with a hint of spiciness. In Greece, such a dish can serve as a main vegetarian dinner, an accompaniment to fresh bread, or even part of a Mediterranean feast with olives and cheese.
