• Ingredients
  1. 1 cup French green lentils (7 ounces)

  5. 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  6. Freshly ground pepper

1. In a medium saucepan, cover the lentils with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Simmer the lentils over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
