Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Put the lentils in a large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer vigorously for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Meanwhile, slice the beetroot and shallot into 0.3cm rounds. Toss into a roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil and roast for 15 minutes, until tender.
