Gulf Coast Lentil Plate

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the lentil, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
