Background

These mustard lentils are super easy to make and very versatile to use. They go well with grilled/barbecues sausages, fried pork chops & steak or grilled fish. I sometimes add roasted veggies or chopped gherkins to make it more interesting.

Ingredients

250g brown lentils
1 celery stalk
1 clove garlic
2 Tbsp mustard
2 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Rinse the lentils under water then put it into a pan of cold water. Add the garlic and the celery.
Bring it to the boil, then simmer for about 25-30 minutes.
Discard the garlic and celery, and drain the lentils. Transfer the lentils to a serving dish.
Add the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, and season with pepper and salt.
Serve at room temperature.

Tips

Use any leftover for healthy salads. For example, add a cup of steamed rice or pearl barley, chopped spring onions, chopped grilled pepper, and 1 Tbsp of fresh chopped herbs.
