Categories     Main Course     Salad     Side Dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup uncooked French green lentils
½ cup uncooked green or brown lentils
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 1½ teaspoons red wine vinegar, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 1½ cups thinly sliced green onions, about 1 medium bunch, dark and light green parts only
⅓ cup fresh parsley leaves, minced
½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Pick over the French and green/brown lentils, discarding any debris. Rinse and drain the lentils and put them in a medium saucepan along with 4 cups (1 L) of water. Bring to a boil over medium to high heat, then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Stir in the green onions, parsley, and tomatoes.
  • Drain the lentils very well. Spoon them into the bowl with the other ingredients (it's okay if they are still warm) and stir well. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately, or let cool slightly and then cover and marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. Stir well before serving. This dish will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or you can freeze it in a freezer-safe zip-top bag with the air pressed out for up to 1 month. After thawing, I recommend adding extra dressing and salt to liven it up again.

BIG-BATCH MARINATED LENTILS



Big-Batch Marinated Lentils image

Stirring a simple vinaigrette into warm just-cooked lentils helps them drink up flavor so they taste anything but plain. Use French green or black beluga lentils as they will hold their shape best. You can keep a batch of these dressed lentils in the fridge and add to salads, pastas, soups, and more all week long.

Categories     Lentil     Olive Oil     Vinegar     Honey     Paprika     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian     Vegan     Dairy Free

Yield Makes about 5½ cups (8-10 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2½ cups French green or black beluga lentils, rinsed, picked through
3 tsp. kosher salt, divided
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
½ tsp. honey
¼ tsp. hot smoked Spanish paprika or Hungarian sweet paprika

Steps:

  • Combine lentils and 2 tsp. salt in a large saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by at least 1". Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until lentils are tender but still have some bite (like al dente pasta), about 20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, honey, paprika, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a small bowl or measuring glass.
  • Pour vinaigrette over hot lentils and toss to coat. Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving to give lentils time to absorb flavors from vinaigrette.
  • Do ahead: Lentils can be prepared 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
