Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, combine lentils, broth, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and cloves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- In a 5-quart saucepan over medium heat, stir walnut halves in oil until they are golden. Remove walnut halves and set them aside.
- Remove the saucepan from the burner and stir in chopped walnuts, then the cooked lentils, cream, lemon juice, shallots, lemon zest, and pepper. Cover and chill for 6 to 24 hours.
- Before serving, stir 1/3 cup chopped parsley into the chilled lentils and add salt to taste. Line salad plates with lettuce leaves and top each with salad. Garnish with reserved walnut halves, lemon slices, and chopped parsley.
