Method

  • In a large saucepan add the olive oil. Once hot add the onions and fry untill softened.

  • Add the lentils and fry for 20 seconds then add the red wine and stock. Cover and cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to a low simmer.

  • Add the chunks of ham and then simmer for 1 and a quarter hours allowing the lentils to absorb the liquid. Check on the lentils after an hour incase more liquid is needed and make sure you give it a good stir every now and then.

  • Season and serve with steamed fish with large wedges of lemon!!

    Tips

    • The recipe is a good one to make your own, I've left the quantities of the ingredients vague as you could cook it with more red wine and less stock etc etc. I find I add a little more stock here n there depending on the lentils.
