Default Warm Moroccan-style lentil salad with salmon and vegetables

Don't run away because I mentioned lentils! They are high in (incomplete) protein, non-haem iron, fibre, phosphorus, copper and folate among other things.

I've been working on this salad and am now pleased with it for a warm or cold lunch. Pre-soak the lentils the night before and the dish takes less than 20 minutes to get to the table.

Ingredients (one serve):
  • 1/3 cup drained brown or Puy lentils (soak in a dish of 500ml cold water in the fridge overnight -- easy)
  • one to two cups of diced vegetables including carrot, broccoli, asparagus, peas, onion, spinach, spring onion, zucchini, capsicum or whatever's in the fridge and needs using
  • one heaped teaspoon Moroccan spices (the Masterfoods pre-packaged blend is fine, or else make a blend of cumin, coriander, sweet paprika, turmeric, chilli)
  • one salmon fillet
  • half a lemon
  • feta cheese (optional)
Method:
  • Cook salmon using your preferred method, break into small pieces and set aside
  • On a low-med heat, stir fry vegetables in a small amount of olive oil, giving firm vegetables like carrot a minute or two first and add delicate vegetables such as zucchini and spinach at the last moment
  • When vegetables are almost soft, add spices to the pan and stir until aromatic (should not be more than 30 seconds)
  • Add lentils to pan and stir until water has evaporated from pan
  • Remove pan from heat and stir through salmon pieces
Serve in a large bowl with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and crumbled feta.




Double quantities for leftovers the next day, however, add only another 1/2 teaspoon of spices.

Variations:
  • Use raw salad vegetables for a cold salad
  • Serve salmon separately and the salad as a side dish
  • I imagine shredded cooked chicken will be a tasty alternative to fish

Why do lentils taste so bad?

Lentils should be prohibited on the account they taste like ass.
Great recipe though.

I missed your comment, Shrek. I could love someone who didn't love or like lentils, but I doubt I could love anyone who compares them with butt :-).
