Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 cups dried red lentils , picked over, rinsed and drained
3 cups water
1 tbsp bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 pepper serrano chili, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp parsley, chopped fresh flat-leaf (italian )
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Directions:

In a saucepan over high heat, combine the lentils, water, bay leaf and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer until the lentils are tender but still firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaf. Set aside.
In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chili and garlic and saute until softened, about 1 minute. Add the cumin, ground coriander and cinnamon and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
In a large bowl, combine the lentils and the spice mixture. Toss gently to mix. Stir in the parsley, cilantro and mint and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Stir in the vinegar and serve immediately.
