Spiced lentils

The combination of lentils, tomatoes and cheese is widely used in Mediterranean cooking. The tang of feta cheese compliments the slightly earthy flavour of the attractive lentils.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Place the lentils in a heavy pan with the water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cover the pan. Simmer gently for about
   20 minutes, until the lentils are just tender and most of the water has been absorbed
2. Crumble half the feta cheese into the pan. Add the sun-dried tomato puree, chopped parsley and a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat through for
   1 minute.
3. Transfer the lentil mixture and juices to warmed plates or bowls. Crumble the remaining feta cheese on top and sprinkle with the fresh herbs to garnish. Serve immediately.
