I got this recipe from the back of a McKenzie's lentil packet which I bought just for the recipe. It's very simple to make, filling, healthy and cheap. I reckon you could sub the puy lentils for whole brown ones. It has coriander in it but I didn't use it when I made it because I didn't have any. Feta is nice of this but if you are making it vegan leave it out but you might want to add more salt. Also add in a bay leaf when boiling the lentils Ingredients:
1 cup of puy lentils (boiled in salted water till tender and drained, 25mins approx) |
4 whole baby beets (cooked till tender, peeled, cut into medium wedges) |
1/2 red onion, cut into thin wedges |
1/2 cup parsley, chopped |
1/2 cup coriander, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon grainy mustard |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/3 cup of crumbled feta (optional) |
Directions:
1. combine the beets, lentils, onion and herbs in a medium bowl.
2. Mix the garlic, olive oil, mustard and lemon juice and mix with the lentil mix.
3. Serve with crumbled feta on top if desired.
