Sweet and Sour Lentils

2 1/2 c. chicken broth, far removed
1 c. red or green lentils
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 T. oil
4-6 T. lemon juice
1 1/2 to 2 T. sugar
 salt and pepper to taste
2 T. fresh parsley or cilantro, minced
12 t. sweet Hungarian paprika
Lettuce leaves

Heat broth and lentils in 2-quart saucepan; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until lentils are done but haven't lost their shape.  Stir in remaining ingredients, first adding lesser amounts of lemon juice and sugar and increasing amount for desired flavor; stir carefully.  Sprinkle with paprika.  Serve warm or cold on a bed of lettuce leaves.  Makes 6 servings.
