Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Shallots; chopped 1 Sprig of thyme
Butter 1 Curl of orange peel
12 oz Whole green lentils (Le Puy) Light stock or water
Handful of chopped lovage

Soften the chopped shallots in a little butter without colouring them. Stir
in the lentils. Add a handful of chopped lovage, the sprig of thyme,
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 it with more butter and seasoning to taste. In the absence of
lovage, use 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.
