Ingredients
- 200g Puy lentils
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 shallot or small onion, finely sliced
- juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 200g peas
Directions
-
There is no need to soak Puy lentils. Just wash them and cook in plenty of unsalted water with the garlic for about 20 minutes, until they are tender but with some bite. Discard the garlic at this point if you wish. Drain and place in a serving bowl.
-
Add the shallot, juice and oil to the lentils and toss together. Season to taste and set aside. Blanch the peas for no more than a minute or so in plenty of boiling water. Drain, add to the lentils and serve.
