Cooking Instructions

Pick through the lentils and remove any damaged beans. Pour about 1 quart boiling water over them to cover, and soak for 1 hour. Drain, place them in boiling salted water, and cook for 30 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

Blanch the bell pepper and onion by dropping them into boiling water for 1 minute. Drain, and add to the lentils along with the tomatoes, fennel, and lemon zest.

Place the remaining ingredients in a blender, and puree. Pour over the lentils and marinate 1 hour before serving.
