Rinse the green lentils and boil them for 15 minutes so they stay firm, then drain.
Toast the eriste in butter for 3 minutes until lightly colored.
Add the lentils, salt, and hot water to the pot, then cover.
Cook the eriste over low heat for 11 minutes and do not stir too much so the pieces do not break.
Loosen the poppy seed paste and walnuts in a small bowl, then gently mix them into the hot eriste.
Keep the pot covered and rest for 5 minutes so the poppy aroma settles into the eriste.
Sprinkle the walnuts at the last moment when serving so their texture stays lively over the oily poppy seed paste.
💡 Tip: Cooking the eriste like pilaf without draining preserves its starchy flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle walnuts over the poppy seed lentil eriste and serve it hot.
