Fruity carrot lentils

Preparation

  1. Soak lentils in hot water (kettle) for 30 minutes, then wring out and rinse.

  2. Peel the carrots into thin strips and cook over low heat in a pot for 3 minutes in 2 spoonfuls of olive oil.

  3. Add the lentils, vegetable milk, spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) and raisins.

  4. Cook over low-medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Add the maple syrup and stir. Leave to cook for a further 5 minutes. The mixture should become a little compact.

  6. Serve warm in a bowl, topped with grapefruit and crushed walnuts.

A word about this preparation...

Lentils are rich in iron, but to facilitate its absorption, we add a food containing vitamin C, in this case grapefruit. It's also great with chunks of fresh pineapple.

The maple syrup can be replaced by date purée.

I accompanied this dish with toasted seed toast spread with Tahini purée.
