Lentil, Brown Rice & Feta Salad

Tuesday, November 6, 2012

I don't often like to brag about how amazing my husband is, but he is. One thing I am very, very appreciative of is his cooking ability, and that he is happy after a day at work to come home and cook! Tonight he made such an easy, healthy and delicious meal I had to share!


Ingredients:

3 Cups Brown Rice

2 Cups brown lentils

1 Capsicum (we used red, but I think yellow is good too)

1 cup organic sultanas

2 spring onions

1/2 cup parsley

1/2 cup mint

1 cup spinach

100g Feta

1/2 cup lemon juice

3tbs Olive Oil

Method:

Basically we just cooked the rice and the lentils and then chopped or crumbled everything into small pieces and mix it all in together, mix through the olive oil and lemon juice and let it stand for a while to get the flavours through the dish.

Even the toddler ate this! I was skeptical if he would, but as long as we do the two spoon method he eats things like this ok (two spoon is one for me, one for him, it distracts him long enough to open his mouth and let me shovel the food in, also he is trying really hard to feed himself too).

We also have plenty left over for lunch for all of us tomorrow, I can't wait to eat it again.



Please try it, you'll love it!

  2. This looks delicious and it's gluten free by ingredient which means that I as a Coeliac can make and enjoy it! I will definitely give this a go soon.

    (Also love your lace tablecloth :-)

  3. It looks delicious! I'm dairy-free too, but it sounds tasty even without the feta.

    And brag away - awesome husbands are worth bragging about (or maybe I just think that to give myself an excuse to brag!)

  8. We don't do lentils here on account of it gives someone terrible wind and then it's no fun for anyone!!

  11. I 'borrowed' the tablecloth off of my Mum about 2 years ago, I will probably never return it! :)

  12. Yeah it would be great without the feta, I think it is just added for those of us that can't bear to think of dinner without meat or dairy ;)

  15. hahaha!! I have heard if you soak lentils and beans for a while (not sure how long a while is) beforehand it stops gas problems!!

  16. I should have mentioned that Sultana's are what we call Raisins, and Capsicums are red or green peppers!! Sorry!!
