  2. Place the shallots in a small bowl. Add in the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and chile. Let stand while you cook the lentils.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the lentils with sufficient water to cover by 2 or possibly 3 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat so which the water is just simmering. Partially cover and cook for 30 to 35 min, or possibly till the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain well in a sieve and transfer to a serving bowl with the salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Add in the shallot/chile mix and toss again gently. Let the salad stand at room temperature for 30 min so which the flavors can marry, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
