olive recipe
Warm broad bean and lentil salad
30 minutes
Puy lentils|250g 
small red onions|1, sliced 
broad beans|300g (about 1kg of pods) 
olive oil 
red wine vinegar|1 tbsp 
mint|1 bunch, chopped 
soft goat's cheese|150g 
Put the lentils in a saucepan with the onion. Cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes until tender - the water should be absorbed. Season.

Meanwhile, cook the broad beans for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain, then tip back into the pan, add 2 tbsp olive oil and warm for 2 minutes. Add to the lentils with the red wine vinegar and mint. Season again. Add more vinegar if necessary. Break up the goat's cheese and fold it into the salad.
