Keeping a finger on a pulse

I just love Lentils. Today I'm knocking up a quick pan of soup using available veg (ie what's in my cupboard) and a stock made with an Indian style bouillon cube. And I've just found some info on sprouting Lentils for salad use etc., so I'm trying a 1/2 cup experiment :-

1. Wash and then soak 1/2 cup brown/green lentils for 8 - 12 hrs.
2. Line a colander with a linen towel (tea towel?) and place the drained Lentils in it, then cover them over with the towel and run some water through to dampen all.
3. Repeat the dampening process twice a day.
4. After 2 or 3 days you will have Sprouting Lentils, very tasty.
5. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate.
