From: www.chefindisguise.com

1 cup red lentils
2 1/2 cups water (OR broth)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Olive oil, to taste

Sauté the onion in olive oil over medium heat until lightly caramelized.
Add the garlic and stir until fragrant.
Add the lentils, cashews if using, and water.
Cook until tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and rosemary.
Puree in a food processor or blender.
Notes: You can reduce the cooking time by soaking the lentils in water for 30 minutes before cooking. If you do so, reduce the water you add to cook the lentils by 1/2 a cup.
Feel free to play with the flavors. Instead of using lemon and rosemary try roasted red peppers, roasted garlic, olives, capers, roasted pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes.
