A little salad for a rainy Autumn day that needs next to no preparation. Although popular in many cuisines (including India, see my recipes for a lentils curry or masoor dhal), lentils are still rarely used where I come from. They are very filling and a lentil salad could make a very nice packed lunch. I also make a version with boiled carrots instead of sundried tomatoes.
You'll need:
a can of green lentils
sundried tomatoes
fresh parsley
a few rashers of bacon
red wine vinegar
red pepper
1. Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry on a pan.
2. In the meantime, rinse well the lentils and transfer them into a bowl.
3. Cut the tomatoes and chop a generous dose of parley and add both to the bowl.
4. Add a splash of red wine vinegar and some freshly grated red pepper.
5. Add the fried bacon, mix everything together, et voila! Serve with fresh buttered bread.
Buon appetito!
