Lentils with Goat Cheese and Chives

 

1 c. red lentils

1 3/4 cs. water

4 ozs. goat

cheese

chives with blossoms

sea salt and coarse black pepper

 

Rinse lentils and discard any discolored

ones.  Combine lentils and water in a heavy saucepan.  Bring to a

boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid is

absorbed.  Remove from heat, fluff, and place in the refrigerator until

chilled.

Fluff chilled lentils again and mound on a serving plate. 

Crumble goat cheese on top.  Pull chive blossoms apart and scatter over

lentils.  Chop up the green parts of the chives and also scatter over the

lentils.  Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and serve.
