   Stir in the rinsed lentils, crumbled stock cube, bay leaf, thyme and pepper, then pour in enough water to cover by a couple of centimetres.
4. 4
   Bring to a simmer, part-cover and cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring now and then, until the lentils are tender and the bacon is cooked through.
5. 5
   Fish out the bay leaf, top up with a splash of water if it looks dry, season to taste and serve in deep bowls.
