Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup lentils, dried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 chicken thighs, sliced 2cm thick strips
- ¼ cup finely chopped oregano leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- Pinch of salt
- 400g green beans, trimmed
- 1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into smaller pieces (if you don't have asparagus you can swap this for 250g heirloom tomatoes, quartered)
- ½ bunch of mint, leaves picked
- 80g feta, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons currants
- Juice of ½ lemon
For the pea puree:
- 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
- ¼ bunch of mint, leaves picked
- 1 garlic clove
- juice of ½ lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Method
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Boil lentils for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- To make the pea puree, combine all ingredients in a small food processor. Blitz until smooth. Taste for seasoning, then set aside.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until just cooked through. Meanwhile, combine oregano, garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Transfer chicken to bowl when cooked, and set aside to rest and marinate.
- Return pan to the heat. Cook beans and asparagus for 2-3 minutes or until lightly charred and tender. Place in a bowl with the lentils, tomatoes (optional), mint (reserve small leaves for garnish), currants and lemon juice. Toss to combine.
- Divide pea puree between serving plates. Top with lentil salad, chicken, feta and reserved mint leaves.
Cooking Tip: Marinating meats after cooking is a must when using fresh flavours like garlic, herbs and citrus! Finely chopped ingredients won’t burn, and everything remains vibrant in both colour and flavour.
Nutrition Tip: Frozen peas should be a staple in households across Australia. They are a cheap and convenient way of adding an extra serve of vegetables to a dish, offering plenty of fibre and antioxidants.
