Directions

1. In a medium pot, add the lentils and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat, cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are just tender. Drain the lentils and rinse with cold water.

2. Now place the tomatoes, onion, parsley and mint in a medium-sized bowl. Add in the cold lentils, cinnamon, allspice, olive oil, and lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine and serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator.
