LENTIL GREEN APPLE SALAD                                            ???

1 red onion, thickly sliced

2 tart apples, cored and cut into 1/8‑inch slices

Olive oil

2 cups lentils

2 sprigs fresh marjoram

1 clove garlic, mashed

1 shallot, minced

Salt and freshly ground pepper

2 cups chicken stock

2 cups water

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

 

Preheat grill to high. Brush onion slices and apple slices with olive oil and grill on both sides

until golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut into dice.

In a saucepan, combine lentils, marjoram, garlic, shallot, stock and water and season with

salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes or until

lentils are just tender, drain and place lentils in a medium bowl, removing the marjoram

sprigs and garlic. Add the grilled apples and onions and drizzle with a few tablespoons of

extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
