Sweet Lentils

1 tsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 cup green lentils, soaked overnight
4 cloves
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup water

In a saucepan, sauté the onions, covered over low heat, until translucent. Add the spices and cook for 1 more minute. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the lentils are soft. Remove the cloves and serve, cold or hot, as a side dish.
