Biblical Cuisine

The campaign to empty the pantry continues. To advance this noble cause, I cooked the last of our lentils into this delicious and simple potage. I simmered two or so cups of brown lentils in three cups of water and one cup red wine. I threw in a roughly chopped onion, some salt, and pepper, and voila! I don't know... an inheritance might be a fair trade for this dish.

**Interesting fact: my grandfather wouldn't eat lentils for the very reason that Jacob cheated Esau with them. I think in the community where he grew up, they weren't kosher.
