Lentil Vinaigrette🌱🪴

Flavoured with herbs from the garden, this dish is one of my all time favourites! I have a few variations, but it’s always tasty and fresh - a perfect picnic salad or nice with a green salad and a chunk of sourdough. I will also happily eat it on its own with a sprinkle of herbs.
Note that this is also the base recipe with a few adjustments for my vegan lentil pate (recipe to follow)

Steps
- 1
Cook the soffrritto in oil until soft. Add the hard and dried herbs. Add a knob of vegan butter. Add the washed lentils and top with stock and cook until lentils are tender. Drain.
- 2
Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together. Combine with the warm lentils. Allow to cool. Top with lemon zest, juice and chopped fresh herbs.
Tips
Batch prep and freeze your soffritto/mirepoix
Soffritto and Mirepoix are the base for many stocks and soups and adds so much flavour to lentil dishes. It’s so much quicker to make this in batches and to keep in the freezer ready for use. I sometimes make this in the food processor, rather than by hand and just defrost as I need it. My soffritto is a blended slightly more than my chunkier Mirepoix. See recipes.

Use herbs to add fresh and healthy flavour!
Herbs are a great way to add flavour to dishes and to provide a healthy alternative to salt. A lovely way to add freshness and flavour to vegan, plant-based dishes of all cuisines and particularly good for soups, stews and legumes 🌱🌿 I was very lucky to receive these beautiful plants for Mother’s Day, and I have some lovely varieties growing in my garden🥰
