Warm Lentil Bowl
- 1.5 cups Beluga Lentils - Soaked
- 2 sprigs Kombu
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Capers
- 5-6 Sun Dried Tomatoes in Oil
- 2 tablespoons Sun Dried Tomato Oil
- 2 cups Assorted Pitted Olives
- Splash Olive Oil
- 1 Orange - zest & juice
- 1 Red Onion
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
- Arugula
- Add soaked lentils and kombu to a medium sized pot. Fill with enough water to cover - bring to a boil and allow to boil for a minute or two. Reduce heat and simmer until lentils are soft. Once soft, remove from the heat and reserve.
- Zest and juice the orange. Add capers, sundried tomatoes, olives, splash of olive oil and the orange juice to a food processor. Blitz until the mixture forms a rough chopped tapenade.
- Slice the red onion into rings, separating each segment. Mince the rosemary. Add the reserved sundried tomato soaking oil to a hot frying pan, saute the onion and rosemary until onions are soft and fragrant.
- Remove the kombu from the lentil pot, drain, and transfer lentils to a large mixing bowl. Mix in the tapenade, the onions and rosemary finishing with the orange zest.
- Assemble arugula in a bowl or plate, adding the warm lentil salad on top. Serve warm or cool - enjoy!
