In 3-quart or larger electric slow cooker, combine lentils, carrot, bell pepper, garlic, bay leaf, chile, and cumin; pour in water. Cover and cook at low setting until lentils are tender when mashed with a fork (6-7 hours). Prepare Yogurt Sauce.

Drain lentil mixture, if necessary; remove and discard chile and bay leaf.

Mix in oil and vinegar; stir in onions and celery. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon lentil mixture into pita bread halves; add Yogurt Sauce to taste.

NOTES : For a Sunday night sandwich supper, spoon this savory lentil filling-warm or at room temperature-into heated pita bread halves. [Maria Rost Rublee (mrublee@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu)]
