Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Shallots; chopped | |
| Butter | ||
| 12 | ounces | Whole green lentils (Le Puy) |
| Handful of chopped lovage | ||
| 1 | Sprig of thyme | |
| 1 | Curl of orange peel | |
| Light stock or water | ||
Directions
Soften the chopped shallots in a little butter without colouring them. Stir in the lentils. Add a handful of chopped lovage, the sprig of thyme, orange peel and stock or unsalted water to cover well. Simmer until tender. Drain off and reduce the cooking liquor to make a little sauce, enriching it with more butter and seasoning to taste. In the absence of lovage, use the young leaves and tenderest parts of a celery heart, and season the dish with a pinch each of celery salt, lemon zest and powdered curry spices.
