My Grandmother Maria was a great cook, she was very frugal and she made delicious dishes from scratch. Back then when I lived in Bulgaria all the ingredients where purchased at the local market. Everything was fresh and chemical free. Now a days the same ingredients are offered in the USA, but they are labeled "Organic" and have a higher price tag then the chemically enhanced food sold in most Supermarkets and Walmart. I still buy most of the fruit and vegetables at the local veggie stand, and surprisingly the prices are lower then the Supermarket and the produce tastes a lot better and is a lot fresher.

Ingredients

	Lentils	1 1/2 Cup (16 tbs)
	10-15 baby carrots ( sliced in 3 pieces)
	1 yellow onion chopped fine(the size of a tennis ball )
	Virgin olive oil	2 Tablespoon
	Whole garlic	5 Clove (5gm), peeled
	Savory	1 Tablespoon, dried
	Regular salt	2 Teaspoon
