Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 12 oz brown lentils, rinsed
• 2 oz peanuts
• 1 small white onion, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 cups vegetable broth, warm
• 2 cups of baby spinach
• 1 red onion, finely sliced
• ½ lemon, quartered and finely sliced
• Sea salt to taste
• ½ cup parsley, finely chopped
• The zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 3 tbs olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, grated

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion, bay leaf and 1 tsp of salt in the olive oil. Add the lentils, stir to combine and add the vegetable broth. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
2. In the meantime, toast the peanuts in a preheated oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
3. Lightly wilt the spinach in a pan with a splash of water.
4. Assemble the dressing in a bowl by whisking the zest and lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, grated garlic and pinch of salt and reserve.
5. When the lentils are cooked through and have absorbed the broth, add the spinach, the dressing and mix well.
6. To serve, simply spoon the lentil and spinach mixture in a plate, sprinkle with peanuts, red onion and lemon quarters. Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a salad.

Cooking notes: You can serve the lentils in their broth by adding ¼ to ½ a cup of vegetable broth at the end to moisten them, before adding the rest of the ingredients.
