Asparagus, watercress & green lentils

For my friends, I give you another Ottolenghi smash hit which was tried truly last night.  Of course, I was rushing back from the horse show, had six people coming for dinner and did not have watercress, so I substituted arugula.  Also pecorino was missing.  However, the result was delicious. This morning, the children had fried eggs, with this Green Goodness heaped on top.  Ned said, "it takes like fresh spring grass, something that I'd like to eat all day." Well, it sounded a bit more lyrical the way he said it.

This recipe is also available where I found it, in Plenty, the new Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook.
