Roasted vegetables with lentils
Background
I love this dish because it's so easy to make, it can be eaten warm or cold and it can be served as a vegan main course or as a side dish (for example with sausages or grilled pork). These roasted vegetables with lentils meal is really healthy and very filling too!
Ingredients
- 1 cup puy or green lentils
- 2 small courgette (zucchini)
- 1 small aubergine (eggplant)
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
- 30g hazelnuts
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Rinse the lentils thoroughly then put them in a saucepan. Cover completely with cold water and cook until soft. It takes about 15-20 minutes.
- In the meantime, cut the vegetables into 5 cm pieces, arrange them a baking tray, drizzle with the the oil, then sprinkle with the chilli flakes. Roast for about 20-30 minutes, until soft and golden brown.
- Dry-fry the nuts. Let them cool then roughly chop.
- Grate the lemon rind, mix with the nuts and parsley.
- Drain the cooked lentils and mix them with the roasted vegetables. Season with salt & pepper, add the lemon juice.
- Just before serving, add the nut mixture and toss well.
