| 1. Peel the half-onion and stud with the cloves. | 2. Combine onion, lentils, lemon zest, garlic, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon cumin and water in a medium-sized pan. | 3. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed, taking care not to burn- you can add a little more water if needed, but try not to cook much more than 30 minutes as they should be'al dente'. | 4. Reserve the garlic and chop finely, but discard the onion, lemon zest and bay leaf. | 5. In a suitable container, whisk together the vinegar, oil, lemon juice, remaining cumin and reserved garlic, to make the dressing. | 6. Stir the dressing through the lentils with the mint and chopped green onions, then season to taste with salt and pepper. | 7. Allow to stand for 30 minutes so that the flavors absorb. | 8. Serve at room temperature. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
