Traditional Spanish lentils (adapted from D's Mom recipe)
Ingredients

2 cups dried green lentils
2 medium tomatoes, diced
6 lucky medium carrots, chopped
2 large potatoes, diced
1.5 large onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, mashed
2 bay leaf
2 teaspoon cumin powder
salt and pepper to taste
5.5 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Seasoning (with saffron)

Directions:

The green lentils in Spain don't need presoaking. Check if yours do.

In deep pot, sauté onion and garlic in oil until it starts to color. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until lentils are done--about 30 minutes.
