| Danka Jandric's salad of lentils and spelt with caramelised vegetables, feta, blanched asparagus, pumpkin seeds and a lemon-vinegar vinaigrette is hearty and filling but also refreshing and zingy! |
The lentils, grains and root veg all have earthy flavours while the dressing combines lemon juice and vinegar to layer the acidity and round out the flavours. The lemon zest brings an almost floral note. Together, they make this a refreshing salad for spring and summer.
Serves 2 generously, or 4 as part of a spread

Method

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.
Lentils can sometimes blend into the background of a dish but these organic black lentils from France deserve to be the star of the show. This simple dish showcases their texture, colour and flavour.
Taktouka is a savoury Moroccan side dish of chargrilled peppers, tomatoes, paprika and coriander. Here we break with the traditional recipe by adding borlotti beans for a more substantial dish.
