Lentil Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 400g can brown lentils
  • 70g walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • a pinch of salt

Method

  1. Drain the lentils thoroughly, then blend to a rough paste with the walnuts.
  2. Add the oil and the juice of the lemon and the salt and blitz again till a smoother, but textured dip.
  3. Add a little more olive oil if it needs loosening, then spatula into a small bowl.
  4. Cover with herbs if you think it looks too ugly — I recommend flat-leaf parsley or coriander.
