How to make puree of lentils with baked eggs

  • Put the lentils in a deep saucepan.
  • Add the leeks, coriander seeds, fresh coriander, mint, vinegar and stock.
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the lentils are cooked and have absorbed all the liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Season the lentils with salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Spread out in four lightly greased baking dishes.
  • Using the back of a spoon, make a hollow in the lentil mixture in each dish.
  • Break an egg into each hollow.
  • Cover the dishes with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
  • Sprinkle with plenty of parsley and serve at once.
  • This unusual dish makes an excellent supper. For a nutty flavour you could add a 14 ounces can of unsweetened chestnut puree to the lentil mixture.
