Method

1. Blanch the chard in a pan of boiling, salted water. First add the stalks and then, after 2 minutes, add the green leaves. Blanch for a further 30 seconds and then drain. Refresh in a bowl of iced cold water and drain again.

2. Heat a dash of olive oil in a pan and then fry the chilli and garlic over a low heat until softened. Add the tomatoes and cooked lentils to the pan and simer for 2 minutes.

3. Add the olives and blanched chard to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Drizzle over a little lemon-flavoured olive oil and serve.
