1. Separate the lentils in a third of the vegetable broth each with 1
2. crushed clove of garlic, a piece of onion, a
3. Boil the bay leaf and salt just until cooked. Try again and again, first the red ones, they are the fastest. All varieties may still have a slight bite, but of course no longer be hard. Cooking times vary greatly depending on the type and age of the lentils.
4. While the lentils are cooking, stir a clear vinaigrette from vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar and mix in the warm lentils.

Then you put the individual varieties in the vinaigrette immediately after they have drained.
