Lentils with herbs and garlic

Stumbled across this, fancied something simple with lentils and mint.

1 cup green lentils, rinsed
6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
12 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1 tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp. minced fresh mint
salt and pepper

1. Bring lentils and 3 cups water to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until lentils are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain lentils and set aside.

2. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in an 8'' skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until soft, 7–8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining oil, lemon juice, cumin, and allspice. Pour the garlic mixture over lentils. Add parsley and mint and season the lentils with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve lentils at room temperature.

Pretty much followed the recipe, though I didn't use that much olive oil I think.
