600ml / 2 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, very finely chopped
1 tsp dried mixed herbs or sage
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and freshly black pepper
3-4 tbsp flour or dried breadcrumbs to coat
a little soy oil, for greasing
Wash and drain the lentils, picking out any damaged lentils or pieces of grit, then put them into a
saucepan with the water, bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down, put on a lid and cook for 20-25
minutes until the lentils are soft, pale coloured and all the water has been absorbed. Keep an eye on the
pan toward the end of the cooking time as the lentils may stick, but they need to be dry so only add a
very little extra water if any.

lid on the pan.
