lentils

This was inspired by something that my friend Cat made. It's got lentils, beetroot and olives to give it a bit of salt. Cat's version had beetroot, lentils and feta, served with a refreshing vinaigrette. Both taste great.

Cook beetroot in a little water or oil. I prefer oil for flavour and it means that the pot won't dry up. When they are soft, add in cooked lentils and olives. My only regret is the olives are tiny and pitted, so you really have to be careful not to break any teeth. If I made it again, I would use pitted olives.
