    DaGirl havent made this myself so dont know what its like but I thought I might give it a go :D

     

    Lentil Salad

    # ¾ cup green or brown lentils, rinsed and drained

    # 1 shallot, halved lengthwise

    # ¼ tsp ground cloves

    # 2 plum tomatoes, chopped

    # 2 ribs celery, chopped

    # ½ yellow bell pepper, chopped

    # ½ red onion, finely chopped

    # 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

    # 2 Tbsp chopped parsley

    # 2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint

    # 3 Tbsp lemon juice

    # 1 tsp honey

    # 1 tsp olive oil

    # 1 clove garlic, minced

    # Salt and black pepper

     

    1. Place the lentils in a medium saucepan and cover with 3" of water. Add the shallot and cloves and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain in a colander and discard the shallots. Set the lentils aside to cool.

     

    2. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, celery, bell pepper, onion, cheese, parsley, and mint. Stir in the lentils.

     

    3. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, honey, oil, and garlic. Pour over the salad and gently toss to combine. Season with the salt and black pepper.

     

    Sounds pretty good :D

    My favourite ingredients on top of the normal tomatoes/mince/sauce are onions, lotsa garlic, lotsa chillies, olives, red capsicum, grated carrot, and mushrooms - I like to put them in whole not chop em up so you can find em real easy :D And red wine of course is essential - both in the sauce and in a glass for while you are cooking fnd%20(10).gif
