A great vegetarian dish. I liked the flavoring from the mint, vinegar and onion. I made the recipe with orzo (couldn't find orecchiette) and cooked the lentils from scratch (although this increased the prep time). I used the online tool to cut the serving size and found that I needed to increase the vinegar for my tastes. I made this for the Aussie/NZ Sept 09 recipe swap.

<br>I can?t think of anything more relaxing than drooling over cookbooks..... I love 'em all; well the ones with pictures are at the top of my list. I have a huge collection of fundraiser type cookbooks from schools and country towns from all around Australia. These books contain many tried and true old-fashioned family favourites.
