Ingredients

  • 200g lentils
  • 150g wild rice
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g red pepper
  • 50g salsa
  • 50g red onion
  • 15g lime
  • 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and peppers, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the wild rice blend according to the pack, usually 20-25 minutes, then drain.

  3. 3

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Toss the protein and onion in fajita seasoning and cook over high heat until charred. Finish with lime juice and spoon salsa over the top.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cherry tomatoes and peppers for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wild rice first, then the veg and green lentil, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
