This is a great twist on a salad, and it’s packed with a lot of flavour and crunch.
If you want to improve on this recipe and for a more substantial meal you can add some shredded poached chicken. It serves 2.
Ingredients
100 g sesame noodles, cooked according to the packet instructions
dash of vinegar
2 very fresh medium eggs
100 g tinned
beluga lentils, drained and rinsed
30 g kale, blanched
60 g tenderstem
broccoli, blanched
60 g red cabbage, thinly sliced
100 g butternut squash, roasted and thinly sliced
1 avocado, thinly sliced
sesame seeds, to serve
Dressing
3 tbsp tahini
juice of ½ lemon
3–4 tbsp warm water
Method
To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients, adding a little more water if necessary, until it is a thick but pourable liquid.
Add a small dash of vinegar to a pan of steadily simmering water. Crack the eggs individually into a ramekin or cup.
Using a whisk, create a gentle whirlpool in the water to help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
Slowly tip the first egg into the water. Cook for 3 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon, cutting off any wispy edges using the edge of the spoon. Drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the second egg.
On 2 plates, arrange the lentils, all of the prepared vegetables, the noodles and the poached eggs, then drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
