Method
step 1
Fry the bacon in a little oil until crisp and remove. Fry the onion until soft and add back half the bacon. Stir in the lentils and add enough water to cover, bring to a boil and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Add a little more water if necessary but you want most of the water to be absorbed by the end, so don’t add too much.
step 2
Add the peas for the final 5 minutes of cooking. Stir in the remaining bacon, the balsamic vinegar, feta and cherry tomatoes.
