Step by step recipe

Cut 1 cup cooked meat into small chunks. You can use any leftover meat (beef, chicken, pork...), or even a mixture.

Put the meat into a bowl. Slice 2 hard-boiled eggs and add with 1 shallot, finely chopped.

Boil 1 ¼ cup green lentils in a large quantity of salted water. When cooked (tender), drain thoroughly.

Add the lentils to the bowl, then add the chopped parsley and 5 tablespoons French dressing (vinaigrette). Stir round well and it's ready.

Remarks

This is even better if the lentils are still warm. Serve straight after the final mixing, if possible.

Keeping

2 or 3 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
