- Meanwhile, combine lentils and sliced ginger in a saucepan, and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; discard ginger. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Combine grated ginger, the onion, vinegar, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the ground coriander. Pour over lentils, and toss to coat. Season with pepper. Stir in chopped mint and cilantro. Arrange beet wedges on top of lentils. Garnish with herb leaves, and serve immediately.
