Method

  • step 1

    Finely grate the garlic and put in a bowl. Boil the lentils for 25 mins, and put the asparagus in a steamer over them for the last 5 mins until just tender.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, put the onions, cranberries, oil and vinegar in the bowl with the garlic and stir well. When the lentils are ready, drain and toss them into the dressing with the tomatoes. Tip into plastic containers (for a packed lunch), or onto plates, then top with the asparagus and crumble over the feta. Drizzle with a little extra oil, if you like.

I made this for a quick weeknight meal. It was quick and easy to pull together and looked beautiful on the plate, and great it is so healthy. However, its taste was only ok, it certainly didn't blow my socks off! I'd liven it up next time with some extra seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh…
