- Bring the lentils to the boil with 0.5 l water, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the stock, pepper and wine (or vinegar), simmer for another 10 minutes. The lentils should be soft but not crumble.
- Roast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan until golden brown. Wash the leek and cut into strips approx. 1 cm wide. Heat the butter, sweat the leek in it for a few minutes and season with herb salt and curry.
- Mix the leek and lentils with 100 g cheese and 1 cup of cream, place in a flat baking dish. Mix the sunflower seeds and the rest of the cheese and sprinkle over the vegetables.
- Bake the gratin for approx. 20 minutes at 200 ° C. The crust is a dream. Nice, crispy and hearty!
