Instructions
Rinse the lentils well in several changes of water. Drain them in a sieve. Bring water, salt and lentils to the boil in a saucepan. Boil the lentils, covered and over a low heat, for approx. 15 min. or until tender. Drain the lentils in a sieve.
Melt the butter in a stewpot over a high heat, but without browning. Fry leeks and pepper for approx. 2 min. Add the boiled lentils and fry for another min. Remove the pot from the heat and add soya sauce, salt and pepper. Season.
Serving: Arrange the warm salad on plates. Sprinkle with a little liquid and top with the cheese. Perhaps, serve remaining liquid in a separate bowl.
Tip: Warm salad with green lentils is a nice vegetarian dish for 3 persons.
