    Cook's tips

    Any remaining lentils can be added, warm or cold, to chopped tomatoes,
    peppers and avocado, then tossed in salad dressing for a quick lunch.
    Or serve them with grilled sausages or pan-fried duck breast.

    Drinks recommendation

    An excellent-value, rich, fruity red will go well with this dish, and is suitable
    for vegetarians. Try Inycon Nero ’Avola/Frappato, Sicily, Italy
