Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the bell pepper, courgette, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. On a baking tray, toss the chopped vegetables (not tomatoes or garlic) with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 2.Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes. While they roast, rinse the lentils and place them in a saucepan with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- 3.After 15 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic to the baking tray with the other vegetables. Roast for another 10-12 minutes until everything is tender and lightly caramelized.
- 4.Drain any excess liquid from the cooked lentils. Flake the smoked mackerel into large pieces, removing any skin if you prefer.
- 5.In a large serving bowl, combine the warm lentils, all the roasted vegetables, and the flaked mackerel.
- 6.Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Add the chopped fresh parsley, gently toss everything together, and season with a final pinch of salt and pepper before serving warm.
