There was a time when I was growing up that whenever my mother said that we were having lentils for tea the rest of the family would moan and make jokes about Neil from The Young Ones. Though we all secretly loved her lentil concoction.
This dish is a slight variation on my mother’s, removing the turmeric (which only served to stain the saucepan!). I’ve also changed the method slightly in cooking off the lentils with first in water, bay and garlic.
