300 g of green puy lentils, uncooked
2 large handfuls fresh mint leaves
salt and pepper
1 lemon, finely zested and juiced
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons vinegar, your preference (optional)
1 large red onion, finely diced
1 bunch of broad leaf parsley, chopped
1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced

1
Put lentils in a pan and cover with plenty of cold water.
2
Bring to the boil and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, until tender but still retaining their shape.
3
Process the mint leaves, garlic, olive oil and lemon zest into a rough pesto.
4
You want it rough not too smooth, then add the lemon juice and pepper to taste.
5
Drain the lentils well, tip into a serving dish and stir the mint dressing through along with the chopped onion and vinegar.
6
It's important that the lentils be warm at this stage because they seem to better absorb the the mint pesto and onion flavours.
7
Let macerate in fridge for at least 30 minutes and then stir in the diced red bell pepper, chopped parsley and chopped fresh coriander and serve.
8
NOTE: Macerating it is optimal but you can skip that if you don't have time.
