LENTIL SALAD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES



Lentil Salad With Roasted Vegetables image

This lentil salad looks and tastes bright, thanks to a combination of tangerine juice, sherry vinegar and colorful caramelized roasted root vegetables. It works either as a main course, served with good bread and butter, or as side dish with roasted meat or fish. For the maximum visual impact, use both golden and red beets. Vegetarians can feel free to leave out the bacon. Leftovers will keep for at least five days, though try to pack it up without the radicchio, which gets soggy in the fridge.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 small whole acorn squash, peeled if desired, halved, seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium celeriac, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
3 small beets, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sprigs thyme
1 sprig rosemary, cut in half
4 slices (4 ounces) bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional)
2 cups brown or green lentils
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup sherry vinegar, more to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 heads radicchio, sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced (whites and greens)
Parsley, roughly chopped, for garnish
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
1 tangerine, halved and seeded

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place vegetables in one layer on one or two large rimmed baking pans, toss with olive oil and salt. Place thyme and rosemary on top of vegetables, cover pans with foil and roast for 25 minutes. Remove foil, stir in bacon and bake for 30 to 40 minutes longer, until vegetables are tender and golden all over.
  • In a large pot, combine lentils, 6 cups water, garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until lentils are tender.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard and salt. Then whisk in olive oil.
  • Drain lentils and discard bay leaf; keep or discard garlic as you like. Toss lentils with half of the sherry vinaigrette while still warm. Add more salt, olive oil and vinegar as needed.
  • Toss radicchio with enough of remaining vinaigrette to lightly coat it and arrange it on a platter. Combine lentils and roasted vegetables, adding more of the vinaigrette to taste; spoon mixture on top of radicchio. Garnish with scallions, parsley, sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze tangerine juice over the lentils and drizzle with more olive oil if needed.

WARM LENTIL SALAD WITH BALSAMIC ROAST SQUASH



Warm Lentil Salad With Balsamic Roast Squash image

This recipe started out as something else. I had in my pantry a bag of mixed sprouted lentils - black, green, and brown. I cooked them with the intention of making dal, but I so liked the integrity of the cooked lentils - green and black lentils remain intact even after they soften - that I didn't want to mash them. Meanwhile I had roasted some squash with balsamic vinegar. I ended up warming the lentils in a cumin-scented vinaigrette and serving them with the squash.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds kabocha or butternut squash, peeled and cut in small dice (about 3 cups peeled and diced, weighing 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds), or 1 large acorn squash, cut in half (If using acorn squash, place in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes before cutting in
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons if using acorn squash)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup black lentils (also known as beluga lentils), green Le Puy lentils, or a mixture, rinsed
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 onion (intact)
1 quart water
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, ground
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1/4 cup chopped or slivered flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Combine the lentils, ginger, turmeric, onion, water, and salt to taste in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook at a moderate bubble until the lentils have softened and produced a flavorful broth, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat. Remove the onion and discard. Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the lentils.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. If using cut up squash, place in a bowl or directly on the baking sheet and toss with salt to taste, the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Spread on the baking sheet in an even layer and make sure to tip all of the liquid remaining in the bowl over the squash. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so that the squash browns evenly. The squash should be tender all the way through. Remove from the heat. If using acorn squash, spoon a tablespoon of the balsamic vinegar into both cavities, season with salt, brush with olive oil, and place cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until thoroughly tender. Remove from the heat and when cool enough to handle remove the skin and cut the squash into dice.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together the vinegars, mustard, salt and pepper, olive oil, and walnut oil. Toss with the lentils and return to the saucepan. Add a few tablespoons of the lentil broth, stir in the parsley and heat through.
  • Place the squash in the middle of a wide bowl or serving platter, surround with the lentil salad and serve.
