Warm Lentil And Potato Salad
- 100 grams Baby Potatoes, Boiled
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 whole Onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, Finely Chopped
- 1 piece Fresh Ginger, 1 Square Centimeter, Finely Chopped
- 6 whole Cherry Tomatoes, Sliced
- 1/2 whole Avocado, Pitted And Peeled
- 1 pinch Ground Cummin
- 1 pinch Paprika
- 1 pinch Chili Powder
- 1 can Lentils, 100 Gram Can
- 1/2 whole Lemon
- 1 cup Arugula
- Cut the boiled baby potatoes into cubes of roughly 2 square centimeters. In a skillet over high heat, fry the baby potatoes in a bit of olive oil for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. The trick is to start on high heat while regularly stirring the potatoes for about 5 minutes and then turning the heat down low for the remaining 10 minutes to let them cook through.
- Chop the onion and garlic and put them into another skillet over medium heat. Fry them in a splash of olive oil for 3 minutes. Then add ginger to the onion, fry for 2 minutes.
- Slice the tomatoes and avocado.
- Add the spices to the onion mixture and fry for 1 minute. Drain the can of lentils and add them to the onion. Stir well and let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Zest 1/4 of a lemon and add it into the lentil mixutre together with the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
- When the lentils and potatoes are done, put them in a deep plate or a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, arugula and avocado and toss to combine into a lovely salad.
- You can substitute the potatoes with pasta, for instance fusili. And for a meat option you could fry pieces of chorizo and add those to the salad as well.
- Enjoy!
