Method

(1) Rinse lentils and add to medium saucepan with carrot, onion, garlic, salt and bay leaf. Cover generously in water and bring to boil then reduce to a simmer until lentils are cooked (tender but still firm) - approx 15 mins.

(2) While lentils are cooking, roast peppers on a flame until charred. Cover with plastic film in a bowl for 10 minutes to steam, then scrape skins. Do not rince them, as they will lose their flavour.

(3) Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients and fold into warm lentils. Add herbs and peppers. Season with salt and pepper and red wine vinegar to taste. Crumble feta and stir into lentils. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Compose as part of a salad plate with hard boiled eggs, olives, tomatoes and lettuce. Cover in fridge and enjoy for up to 4 days.
