1/2 cup lentils

1/2 cup shelled roasted peanuts

1/2 cup toasted bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 saltspoon pepper Milk

Soak the lentils over night; in the morning drain, cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Drain again; put in fresh water and cook until tender. Drain once more; throw away the water and press the lentils through a colander. To them add the nuts, either ground or chopped, the bread crumbs and seasoning and milk sufficient to make the mixture the consistency of mush. Put into a greased baking dish; bake in a moderate oven for an hour; turn out on a heated platter; garnish with parsley or watercress and serve.
