Notes

* red lentils tend to stick together when simple rinsed under running water. Use a bowl and swish lentils around in cold water, drain and repeat until water runs clear. Around 3-5 times.
** mozzarella cheese will result in a more "cheesy" (the cheese will have more pull) appearance than jack cheese will. The flavour is about the same however.
