Turkish Red Lentil Pottage

[We haven't tried this recipe yet -- tasted it last night at a cooking class and it was fabulous. I intend to try it as soon as I can eat lentils again (three meals in a row and the interest is gone)!]

2 cups red chef's lentils
6 cups boiling water

Add lentils to boiling water, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Turn down to low and simmer for 20 minutes until very soft.

2 large onions, finely chopped
5 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup olive oil (or less)
2 T McKays chicken seasoning
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Saute onion, potatoes and parsley in olive oil adding chicken seasoning as you stir.

1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 15oz can tomato sauce
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes in juice

Add tomato ingredients and sauteed potatoes to lentils. Salt to taste. Simmer on low for 30-45 minutes.
