Lentils with Onions

Pick the lentils over carefully and wash them well, put them in a saucepan with plenty of cold water and boil until tender. When soft turn the lentils onto a fine sieve and allow them to drain thoroughly. Peel and cut into thin slices a number of onions, put them into a flat stewpan with a lump of butter, and fry. Put the lentils in with the onions, season to taste with pepper and salt, moisten with a little clear stock, and allow them to simmer at the side of the fire for a few minutes. If the stock is not convenient moisten with the cooking water of the lentils. When ready, turn them onto a hot dish, and serve.
