Ok. I've said I would post some recipes for a while. This is delicious. I don't have quantities, so just do what you think.
You'll need:
Scallops (maybe two per person)
Spinach, or greens
Lentils (i get them in this great vacuum sealed bag, but if you cant get those - they are pre-cooked, just the brown ones)
Bacon
Carrot x 1
Onion x 1
Garlic x 2 bits
S/P
Oil
* If your Lentils aren't cooked, boil them until cooked (you'll have to find out for how long on the pack or internet). For extra flavor cook in weak stock.
* Cut up onion an carrots into tiny bits and brown in a bit of oil. Season with S/P. Move to a bowl.
* Cut bacon into little strips - you don't need much, and cook. Transfer to lentils and mix up so flavor spreads
* Optional step, add a little oil and lemon to lentil mix and mix. I added a Persian Lime flavored oil that is devine
* Cook Scallops in the fat left over from bacon. If they are big Diver scallops you can cut them in half. Literally only a minute or two each side. Make sure they are delicious and brown.
* Add lettuce/spinach to lentil mixture, it will wilt a little, then put a big scoopful on a plate. Top with scallops.

do you still get these lentils from fairway? i may venture to the one in red hook and see if i can find them...... great to have in the cupboard aren't they. mind you i ate them all the time and ate the whole packet at once. not good.
yes, they are the ones. I am all out. How to get to RedHook? And should ring and check that they have them first. I was thinking of going too UWS to get some on the weekend. Too yum.

caro, it's so easy to make. well it is when you get the vacuum lentils in a bag thing. they are just so devine too, don't have that slightly dirty flavor that you get with some lentils. you dont need the bacon if you dont have it, want it to be healthier.
