1/2 lb brussels sprout, halved |
4 -6 garlic cloves |
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |

fresh ground black pepper |
1/2 cup dried lentils, rinsed (daphne uses black lentils) |
1/2 yellow onion |
1 bay leaf |
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 lb arugula (or spinach) |
Directions:
