Cooking
Lentil Salad
· 2 servings
Cook the lentils
Soak the lentils in water overnight. In the morning, drain off the water, cover with fresh water and cook until tender. This takes about 15 minutes. Just before they're fully soft, add salt and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
Boil the eggs and prep the vegetables
Drain the lentils and tip them into a colander. Leave to cool completely. Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs and prepare the vegetables. Peel the carrot and grate it on the coarse side of the grater. Cut the pepper into small pieces.
Sauté the vegetables and chop the apple
Tip the carrot and pepper into a dry, hot non-stick pan and stir briefly, just until they soften slightly. Chop the eggs, wash the lettuce, dice the apple into small cubes, and mix everything together.
Serving
Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and salt. If you prefer your salads with mayonnaise, feel free to stir in a little – it's delicious that way too. Sprinkling on some cheese certainly won't hurt either.
