Puy lentil galettes

These may seem a bit outdated, reminiscent of the old vol-au-vents, but all good things eventually make a comeback and I am sure this modernized version will score you many points on the imaginative-host scale. The lentils are also delicious on their own, without the puff base.

You can skip the toasting and grinding of the seeds, if you prefer, and use ready-ground spices instead; just halve the quantity.
