just barely tender.

Add the cooked lentils to the celery-onion mixture;
then add the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Spread
the mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Cover with the
top crust. Flute the edges and cut a hole into the top
crust to allow steam to escape.

crust is golden brown.

Serve with a steamed vegetable and a green salad. The
lentil pie is also good with a sauce or some homemade
relish.
