Instructions

1. Rinse the lentils in a fine sieve, then put them in a saucepan with the water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, lower to low heat and simmer until just cooked through. Drain and rinse under cold water.
2. Put the flour in a large bowl and make a well. Crack in the egg, whisk it, then add the beer and whisk until you have a creamy batter.
3. Add the shallot, garlic, parsley, paprika and cumin to the batter and mix. Add the lentils, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
4. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, spoon the batter into the pan in a single, evenly spaced layer. Cook in batches for 4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
6. For the aioli, pound the garlic, saffron and a pinch of salt in a mortar to a paste. Whisk in the mayonnaise, lemon juice and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
7. Put the aioli in a serving dish, arrange the fritters around it and garnish with chopped parsley.
