Wash the lentils and place them in a pan with the water. Cover and cook
for about 40 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
Heat the oil in a skillet; add the celery, onion, thyme, cinnamon, and
cloves. Saute until the celery is 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.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, or until the 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.
