method
1. Put the lentils in a saucepan, cover with 1 litre cold water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 35 minutes or until tender (the time will depend on the age of the lentils). Drain.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and fry for about 10 minutes until soft and pale golden.
3. Add the butter, the remaining oil and the mushrooms. Stir-fry until the mushrooms are just cooked. Add the lentils, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and continue to stir until heated through.
4. Meanwhile, grill the bacon until crisp. Serve the lentils topped with the parsley and 1-2 slices of bacon per serving.
