This is a recipe that can be easily made vegetarian (using vegetable rather than chicken stock). The smoked mozzarella gives the lentils an almost bacony taste, but fresh plain mozzarella also works well if smoked mozzarella isn't available. The dish can be either an entree or a side salad, and can be served hot, at room temperature, or refrigerated. If it is refrigerated, add the walnuts, mozzarella, and thyme just before serving. <br />
