  1. Preheat the grill to high. Drizzle the Romano peppers with olive oil and season with salt. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until softened and nicely charred.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden. Leave to cool, then roughly chop.
  3. To make the salsa, combine most of the hazelnuts with the olives, parsley, zest and juice of ½ lemon, 4 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, peel the peppers, discard the seeds and tear the flesh into strips.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the rose harissa, juice of ½ lemon, 3 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils and charred peppers, then toss to coat. Season to taste.
  6. Spoon the warm lentil salad onto serving plates and top with the olive and hazelnut salsa. Finish with the remaining hazelnuts and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
