Method

Put the puy lentils in a saucepan with the shallots and thyme, and cover with twice their depth in water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes. Check that the lentils don’t dry out as they cook and then drain.

Trim the kale and cut off any thick stalks. Finely shred the leaves. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and stir in the kale. Add a little water to the pan, cover and steam gently for 5 minutes or until the kale is tender. Tip the lentils and kale into a bowl and add plenty of seasoning, the preserved lemon and juice and a little more olive oil. Fold everything together and leave it to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the goat’s curd or yoghurt.
