Tahini Lentils

A vegetarian dish from the Moroccan kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 50g Tahini
  • zest and juice of 1 Lemon
  • 2 tblsp Olive Oil
  • 1 chopped Red Onions
  • 1 clove peeled crushed Garlic
  • 1 thinly sliced Yellow Pepper
  • 200g Green Beans
  • 1 sliced Courgettes
  • 100g shredded Kale
  • 250g pack Lentils

Method

  1. In a jug, mix the tahini with the zest and juice of the lemon and 50ml of cold water to make a runny dressing. Season to taste, then set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion, along with a pinch of salt, and fry for 2 mins until starting to soften and colour. Add the garlic, pepper, green beans and courgette and fry for 5 min, stirring frequently. Tip in the kale, lentils and the tahini dressing. Keep the pan on the heat for a couple of mins, stirring everything together until the kale is wilted and it’s all coated in the creamy dressing.
