  • 1 crushed garlic clove
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 20g torn basil
  • 75g goats’ cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • Place the lentils in a small saucepan, and cover with water by about 5cm. Add the garlic, bring it up to the boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain well, and tip into a bowl.
