Instructies
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking tray, toss the chopped carrots with 30ml olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the carrots roast, heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 3.Add the rinsed lentils and 750ml of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain any excess water.
- 4.To make the dressing, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, the remaining 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in 60-80ml of water until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- 5.In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked lentils, roasted carrots, and most of the chopped parsley. Pour the tahini dressing over the top and toss gently. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
