Cook up some lentils and toss them in a good red wine vinaigrette while they're still warm. (Drain them really well. It's a drag when they dilute the vinaigrette.) Toss in some diced beets and crumbled goat cheese. I've got the beet greens so I'm going to saute them and grill a few chicken breasts too but actually you don't really need the chicken.
As you know, you cannot salt the cooking water for beans until they're tender or else they will never get tender. This is not true of lentils. Salt away right at the beginninng. I don't know why this is. Do you?
