Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 190 ° C. Line a tart or quiche pan (23 cm) with the dough.
2. Fry the garlic and leek in a pan over medium heat until tender. Add the lentils, mix with the leek and garlic, then stir in the thyme and milk. Bring to the boil and simmer on a low flame for approx. 40 - 50 minutes. Stir occasionally. The mixture should be very thick. Let cool down.
