LENTIL TAPENADE
This is a classic French spread of olives, capers and garlic that has been lightened up with lentils. Great flavor with fewer calories! I have tinkered with it a little to make it vegetarian, but put options for meat eaters. Adapted from the Great Good Food cookbook.

Steps:
- Rinse lentils, drain.
- In a large saucepan, combine lentils, broth, garlic, and tomatoes over medium heat. Simmer 30-45 minutes, or until lentils are cooked. Set aside to cool.
- Place all ingredients from saucepan in a food processor, and process for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides a couple times. Add the oil, capers, chopped olives, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Process until smooth, scraping down several more times. Add the 1/2 cup parsley and pulse 2 or 3 times to blend.
- Move the tapenade to a serving dish. Garnish with lemon slices, and parsley around the lemon. Serve with toasted French bread, pita bread, or chips. Enjoy!
