    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    1½ tbsp olive oil
    1 leek, trimmed and finely sliced
    1 celery stalk, finely diced
    1 carrot, finely diced
    1 sprig rosemary
    200g red split lentils, well rinsed

    Method

    1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the leek, celery, carrot and rosemary along with a pinch of salt, cover with
    a lid and gently sweat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and fry for another minute, then stir in the rinsed lentils.

    2. Add the stock and 250ml water, bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Remove the rosemary, stir in 2 tsp lemon juice and check the seasoning.

    3. Heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Chop or tear the cavolo nero leaves into 3-4cm strips, then add to the pan with a pinch of salt and the remaining 2 tsp lemon juice. Fry, tossing regularly for about 3-4 minutes, until just turning crisp.  Serve the soup topped with the pulled ham hock and crispy cavolo nero.
