This recipe is from Gourmet magazine and can be found on epicurious.com. It requires lots of chopping, but is relatively easy. I generally double the recipe when I make it, because it goes very quickly. Note that the lentils may need more cooking time, depending on whether you have pre-soaked them or they are dry. Buy the pre-cooked lentils at Trader Joe’s to save time! Serves 2 generously. (more…)
