    Brown the lentils deeply in the Olive Oil in a heavy pot — patience here pays off later.

    Remove it, then let the onion and garlic soften in the drippings with the smoked paprika.

  3. 3

    Return the lentils, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.

  4. 4

    Cover and braise low and slow until the lentils yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.

Chef's tip

Skim the fat from the surface before the final reduction for a cleaner sauce.
