Minced meat dishes with red lentils

Turkish likes lentils a lot.
They have a lentil soup, that I like a lot, and lentil patties (Mercimek köftesi) that I made before,  and today I made another one. Lentils with meat.



Materials:
1 cup red lentils
1 dry onion
garlic
olive oil
2 tomatoes
50 gr. ground beef
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt, pepper, mint, red pepper

Preparation:
Peel onion and cut into cubes, add also garlic, and cook on the pan with olive oil. Then add to the pan meat, salt and pepper. Cook around 15 min. then add water, tomatoes, lentils, and in the end tomato paste. Cook until lentils will be soft. Served with dry mint and red pepper.

Enjoy!
