Ingredients List
- 2 Shallots; chopped
- Butter
- 12 oz Whole green lentils (Le Puy)
- Handful of chopped lovage
- 1 Sprig of thyme
- 1 Curl of orange peel

Directions
Soften the chopped shallots in a little butter without colouring them. Stir

orange peel and stock or unsalted water to cover well. Simmer until tender.
Drain off and reduce the cooking liquor to make a little sauce, enriching

the young leaves and tenderest parts of a celery heart, and season the dish
with a pinch each of celery salt, lemon zest and powdered curry spices.
