We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.
Blaise Pascal

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut 1 onion into chunks and the other into dice. Puree 6 of the garlic
cloves and keep the remaining 5 whole. Place the cinnamon sticks,
whole cloves,~ onion chunks and whole garlic cloves in the center of  a
medium square of cheesecloth. Tie the ends together to form a  package.
Place the fresh thyme in another square of cheesecloth and  tie the
ends together to enclose. In a large saucepan or stockpot,  combine
vegetable stock or water and the spice and herb packages, or  dried
thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered,  for
thirty minutes. Stir in lentils and continue cooking until they  are
cooked through but still firm, about 15 minutes. Strain the  lentils,
reserving the liquid and thyme bundle. In separate saucepan  heat olive
oil or butter over medium heat. Add onions and saute until  lightly
browned, about 15 minutes. Add plantains, carrots and salt.  Reduce
heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the plantains  are soft
and golden, about 15 minutes. Stir in the pureed garlic and  allspice
and cook for 5 minutes longer, being careful not to scorch  the garlic.
Add the lentils, their reserved liquid and the thyme  bundle. Bring to
a simmer and cook another 15 minutes. Remove from  the heat, and remove
the thyme bundle. Stir in half of the chopped  cilantro. Ladle into
bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped  cilantro. Recipe By :TOO
