Preparation steps

1.

Rinse lentils in a sieve under running water. Peel and finely chop garlic and shallot. Rinse and halve chile lengthwise, remove seeds and ribs, and cut into thin strips.

In a saucepan, sauté shallots, garlic and chile in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add lentils and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are cooked but not broken down, 25-30 minutes.
