Lentils with Garlic, Onion & Sun-dried Tomato

My Lentils with Garlic, Onion & Sun-dried Tomato recipe is delicious and versatile! The lentils taste great in a pita sandwich or in a hummus wrap. I also love to serve it over grilled or baked cod or halibut, and/or toss the lentils in a bowl of fusilli pasta.
