Esau'S Pottage - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried lentils
1 tablespoon salad oil
1 teaspoon salt
water, to cover
1/4 cup salad oil
2 onions, sliced (1/4-inch slice)
1 lb ground lamb (since it can be hard to find ground lamb I've thrown in a couple of shoulder chops and shredded them)
1 1/2 cups stewed tomatoes (15oz)
1/2 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery (I just slice)
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced parsnip (slice)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups water

Preparation

Mix together and soak overnight: Lentils oil,salt and water to cover.
Drain and discard liquid next day. (I have also eliminated this entire step without a problem).
Heat Pressure Cooker and add remaining ingredients along with the lentils.
Pressure cook for 20 min and let pressure drop on it's own.
I usually use more veggies and it comes out almost like a stew instead of a soup.
The parsnips really help to make this so try to include them.
