Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 400g lentils (pre-soaked overnight)
  • 6 piquillo peppers in strips
  • 12 anchovy fillets in oil
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp of capers (unsalted)
  • 1 ½ tbsp Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 handful of mixed fresh herbs (we like mint, chervil and parsley)

Method: How to make lentil salad with piquillo peppers and anchovies

1. Mix all the ingredients, apart from the oil, vinegar and anchovies, in a bowl.

2. Separately, mix the oil and vinegar and then add this to the bowl of other ingredients.

3. Season but go easy on the salt - the anchovies and capers will also give salt to the dish.

4. Divide the salad onto four plates and decorate with the anchovies.
