500 gr of cherry tomatoes
250 gr of feta
Lard (optional)
- Seasoning
Dijon mustard
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Directions
- Chop the white part of the onions and sweat them in a pan with olive oil. Split them in two.
- Put half of the onions in a pot with the lentils and add some water and a little bit of salt.
- Lentils are ready when they are soft (15 to 20 minutes of cooking time). Take them out of the water and cool them on a flat plate.
- In the meantime : in the pan with the rest of the onions add the lards. When the lard is cooked add the tomatoes cut in two and let them fry just a little. Put it with the lentils.
- When everything has cooled down, mix it with the chopped feta, spinach and green parts of the onions, add the seasoning to your liking and serve!

- Matteo’s tip: the lentils cooking water is full of good things and taste amazing, do not hesitate to keep it as broth or stock.
