Ingredients

  • ½ x 250g pack Merchant Gourmet Ready to Eat Puy Lentils
  • 180g pack Sweet Romano Peppers
  • 75g baby plum tomatoes, halved
  • 75g essential Waitrose Italian Mozzarella, torn into chunks
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Cook's tips

Any remaining lentils can be added, warm or cold, to chopped tomatoes,
peppers and avocado, then tossed in salad dressing for a quick lunch.
Or serve them with grilled sausages or pan-fried duck breast.

Drinks recommendation

An excellent-value, rich, fruity red will go well with this dish, and is suitable
for vegetarians. Try Inycon Nero ’Avola/Frappato, Sicily, Italy
