  6. Add the coriander and vegetable stock 25 minutes / Speed 2 / 100° C / Reverse blade / MC off - much of the liquid should have been absorbed. If not, increase the cooking time, but watch it because you don't want the mixture to be totally absorbed

  2. Cover with lasagne sheets

Chef's notes

The timing for cooking the lentils is approximate and you may find that you will need a little less stock or a shorter cooking time. Puy lentils are cooked in 20-25 minutes if boiled, so try not to overcook them, especially as they have had a short soaking beforehand. Just don't let the mixture get too dry and bear in mind that the liquid will continue to evaporate whilst making the béchamel sauce.
