Serves 4.
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the lentils, turn down the heat, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the lentils are tender but still have some bite.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, and vinegar until the salt dissolves. Whisk in the mustard. Add the oil in a thin steady stream, whisking until the dressing emulsifies.
When the lentils are cooked, drain them into a colander. Transfer the lentils to a bowl. Spoon half of the dressing over the lentils while they are hot. Stir gently. Let them sit until they are just warm.
Add the onion, scallions, and parsley. Stir and add enough dressing to coat the lentils.
Notes: Haven't tried it yet.
So people complain that there’s a lot of rubbish online, or that it’s
dominated by Americans, or that you can’t necessarily trust what you read on
the web. Imagine trying to apply any of those criticisms to what you hear on
the telephone. Of course you can’t ‘trust’ what people tell you on the web
anymore than you can ‘trust’ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or
in restaurants.
