Our kiddos' junior church teacher asked if I'd make a recipe for pottage to go along with their Bible story in which Jacob gave Esau a bowl of lentil stew (pottage) in exchange for his birthright. I had my doubts that the kids would eat it. Well I was surprised when I saw an empty crock pot! They didn't like it...they loved it! They also informed me that it was good, but not worth selling their birthrights for it! *smile*
Pottage
1 pound bag of lentils
water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 tsp. salt
1 Tablespoon onion powder
2 Tablespoons chicken broth powder (I buy it at our local bulk Amish store)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Rinse the lentils to remove dirt and/or stones. Put lentils in a crock pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Add remaining ingredients, stir a bit, cover and cook for 8 hours. The recipe I read said to cook it on high for 8 hours, but I cooked it on low for 8 hours and it was fine. (The crock pot I used cooks fairly high.)

I love the taste of lentils, and like it lentil soup as well, my 10 year old loves lentil soup....it is an " acquired " taste some like and some not...I'm going to try the homemade granola recipe, I've tried a few and have not yet found
"the one ", maybe yours is it...
enjoy your week
Interesting recipe. Curious though because it's tied in to a Bible lesson. I can imagine the brothers with the older one begging for the pottage in exchange for his birthright.
