PUY LENTIL SALAD
I love Puy lentils - they're nutty tasting with a lovely texture. If you can't get Puy lentils, brown or green work equally well. This salad is a great, healthy accompaniment to a meal, or as a dish in it's own right. The recipe is from Stephanie Alexander's original edition of the cook's companion. I've adapted it slightly.

- Add the garlic and cook for a furtehr minute.
- Add the lentils, salt and reserved water and cook over a low heat for 20-25 minutes - stirring frequently - until the liquid has evaporated. The lentils should still be firm.
