Directions
Rinse the lentils and put them in a large saucepan. Add the carrot, garlic and onion. Cover with water 2 inches above the lentils and simmer low heat for about 25 minutes or until tender. Drain the lentils and put them in a serving bowl.
Step 2
Add the parsley. Peel one orange, divide it into segments and get rid of the skin. Set aside.
Step 3
Squeeze the remaining ½ orange and save the juice in a bowl, add the oil, and pepper and beat delicately. Season the lentils with this sauce and garnish with the orange segments. Garnish with a few black olives halves. Serve cold.
