Puy Lentils
  1. Slice the courgettes and green pepper lengthways into long strips.
  2. Drizzle the vegetables with a little olive oil and cook on a hot griddle pan or barbecue until charred and tender.
  3. Griddle the sprouting broccoli whole until lightly charred and cooked through.
  4. Finely slice the shallot and place in a small bowl with a splash of red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt.
  5. Add the parsley, mint, basil and capers to a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped.
  6. Add the mustard, a splash of red wine vinegar and a generous glug of extra virgin olive oil. Pulse again briefly, keeping the mixture textured rather than smooth.
  7. Add a little more olive oil if needed to loosen the salsa.
  8. Mix the Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils with the herb and caper salsa.
  9. Arrange the griddled vegetables on a serving platter.
  10. Spoon over the dressed lentils and finish with the pickled shallots
