1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the tomatoes cut-side up on a small baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season. Roast for 15-20 minutes until just starting to blacken at the edges.
2. Meanwhile, put the lentils in a pan covered with cold water, bring to the boil then simmer for 15-20 minutes until just tender. Drain, then toss with the lemon juice, garlic and 2 tbsp olive oil and season. Fold the tomatoes, onion and parsley through the lentils and serve.

  This recipe is yummy and so easy - just whack it in the oven, drink a glass of wine and it's done! Really nice with fresh bread or toasted pitta. I used ordinary canned green lentils and it's still delicious.

  this recipe was drool worthy! I used it as a side dish to some grilled John Dory. luckily I'd made a huge batch because every scrap of it was eaten!

  I'm new to using lentils but just love puy lentils. Do you think it's advisable to soak before cooking?

  just in response to shirley's question, I don't think it's necessary to soak the lentils first, i never do anyway and tastes good to me!
