Servings: persons

1 cup de Puy lentils
2 1/2 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pomegranate molaasses
1 tablespoon Jerez Spanish sherry vinegar
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup good olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1 cup Persian cucumbers, chopped
1 handful mint, finely chopped
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

1
Sort lentils to remove any stones or debris and rinse. Put lentils, water, bay leaf and a sprig of thyme in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 20 minutes until al dente. Watch lentils to make sure they do not dry out. Add a bit more water if needed. The goal is when the lentils are done, most of the liquid should be absorbed. Season to taste with about 1/3 teaspoon of salt.
2
In a small bowl mix pomegranate molasses, vinegar, lemon juice and lemon zest together. Whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3
Drain any residual liquid from the lentils and place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, cucumbers, mint, parsley and feta cheese. Toss with dressing. Serve at room temperature.
