, sprout your lentils... not sure if I would want the walnuts ground into powder though.

In a small saucepan, combine lentils and 1 -1/2 cups water. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender and water is absorbed, 35-40 minutes. Drain well. In a blender or food processor, chop and puree walnuts in the oil. This should become a smooth- paste consistency. Add this paste to lentils, mash mixture with a fork until it becomes a paste, again. Add broth, cut-up garlic, salt, and remaining spices. Mix well. Cover. Can be refrigerated up to 4 days. Serve this on crackers, or stuffed into whole-wheat pita pockets with red onion slices and dark green lettuces, or serve with French bread slices. Makes 6 servings.
