GARDEN COURGETTE, MINT, LENTIL SALAD
A fresh & nutritious supper, ideal after a day in the garden, easily put together and utterly delicious. We have finished this dish with the spice, sumac. A now familiar presence in our supermarkets, this Middle Eastern spice grows on low bushes in arid rocky landscapes; the clusters of red berries have been dried and ground for centuries in Europe. Its lemony flavour and vibrant colour add a tangy twist to salads, grilled meat and fish ... use liberally.
For one ...
Mandolin a courgette, slice your radish (with tops) then toss in lemon juice & salt.
Add cooked Puy lentils, mint leaves and a little oil ... toss & plate.
Mix 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt, 1 tbps Tahini, a generous squeeze of lemon, a little minced garlic and season to taste.
Dress your salad and sprinkle with sumac.
