Rare Roast Beef and Lentil Salad
July 31, 2018
Rare roast beef and lentils are a great basis for any salad but what really gives this it's oomph is the addition of a few roast vegetables and our Mojo Verde. Adding the beef juices into the dressing will take it to the next level.
Ingredients
250 g Puy (or other small green) lentils
1 medium sized onion, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Good slug of oil, for sauteing
600 g butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2.5cm cubes
600 g courgettes, cut into 2.5cm cubes
For the dressing:
1 short lump of fresh horseradish, for grating (approx. 2 tbsp)
1 large handful fresh flatleaf parsley,leaves and stalks separated
Directions
1Put the lentils in a saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. Cook until al dente, take off the heat and allow to cool. Drain.
2Gently saute the onion, carrot, bay leaves and garlic until soft.
3Meanwhile, toss the courgette and squash in oil, season and roast in a hot oven until soft and beginning to caramelise.
4Make the dressing: Peel and grate the horseradish. Put a pinch of sea salt into a small bowl, add the red wine vinegar, mustard and a little ground black pepper, then beat in the olive oil until well combined. Add the horseradish a bit at a time, checking that it's not too overpowering. Stir in the Mojo Verde.
5Mix the lentils, roast veg and dressing together, add the thinly sliced beef, scatter the parsley over the top and serve.
