Ingredients
Instructions
Boil the kettle and prepare about 2 cups of stock.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron casserole dish. Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, and cloves. Fry until softened and translucent. (Cover with a lid for a few minutes to speed this up.)
Stir in the lentils until coated in the oil.
Add the herbs and about 300 ml of stock. Cover and cook gently for 15 minutes.
Stir, check liquid levels, and add more stock as needed (I used about 450 ml in total). Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until the lentils are al dente.
Remove from the heat and let the lentils rest with the lid on for 5–10 minutes.
Discard the herbs.
Mix the dressing ingredients and stir into the lentils while still slightly warm so they absorb the flavours.
