Ingredients |
Serves 4
200g red lentils

Method |
- Gently heat the oil in a large pan.Add the onions and garlic and stir to coat with the oil. Cover and saute for 5 minutes.
- Add the lentils with 1/3 of the stock and the bay leaf.
It will spit and hiss a bit, because the pan is hot. Stir well and simmer gently until most of the water has boiled off. Add the lemon juice & rind.
- Then add half the remaining stock. Stir well and simmer again.
- Keep going until the lentils are well cooked and mushy. Add more water if they start to dry out too much. Remove the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Delicious served with rice and mango chutney.
