Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

40 grams butter -- (1 1/2 oz)

1 onion -- chopped

1 bay leaf

125 grams puy lentils -- (4 oz)

900 milliliters water -- (1 1/2 pints)

500 grams savoy cabbage -- (1 lb) shredded

4 teaspoons dijon mustard

4 tablespoons single or double cream

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Melt a third of the butter in a saucepan, and the onion and cook gently,

covered, for 5 minutes, Then add the bay leaf, lentils and water. Bring to

the boil, then let it bubble away, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes, until the

lentils are tender and the water is much reduced, leaving a slightly

thickened, gravy like liquid. If there is too much liquid, turn up the heat

and boil until reduced. Season, remove from the heat and leave on one side.

 

Bring 2.5cm (1 inch) of water to the boil in a saucepan and add the cabbage,

cover and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Drain

and add a third of the butter and some salt and pepper to the cabbage.

 

To make the mustard cream, put the mustard into a bowl, add the cream and

mix together until combined and, if you're using double cream, slightly

thickened. Season with a little salt.

 

Quickly reheat the lentils then beat in the remaining butter. Serve the

lentils and cabbage on warmed plates, topped with the mustard cream.

NOTES : This shows just how good simple, health giving ingredients can

taste, the combination of flavours colours and textures is very pleasing.

You can use either single or double cream to make the mustard cream – it

works well with either, but as you might expect, the double gives a thicker,

richer result. Serves 2. Prep: 50 mins
