How To Make lentils with walnuts

Combine lentils, onion, celery, carrot, thyme and broth in 4-quart Crock Pot slow cooker.

Step 3

Season with salt and pepper. Spoon lentils into serving bowl and sprinkle with walnuts.
Step 4

Variation: If desired, top dish with 4 cooked bacon strips cut into bite-size pieces. To serve as a main dish, stir in 1 cup diced cooked ham.
