2 tsp salt (to taste)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

HOT TIP: the red lentils disappear when they are cooked so your children's beady eyes won't notice them allowing for a good opportunity to get some extra nutrients into them!
