Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Cut 1 cup cooked meat into small chunks. You can use any leftover meat (beef, chicken, pork...), or even a mixture.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Stage 3 - 30 min.
Boil 1 ¼ cup green lentils in a large quantity of salted water. When cooked (tender), drain thoroughly.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
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.
