After soaking, strain the lentils and let them sit in a dark place at room temperature, with cheese cloth covering loosely.

When ready to use, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch lentils for 30 seconds, shock in ice water and blanch again for 30 seconds, to remove some of the raw lentil flavour.

In a medium pot, cover lentils with water and cook for 10 minutes or until soft. Strain and reserve.

While lentils are still warm, place in a food processor with shallot mixture and blitz with garlic, sesame oil, sambal, first pressed canola oil, lemon juice and zest.
