Instrukcje
- 1.In a saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain well.

- 5.In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 15ml of olive oil, the juice and zest of the lemon, and the chopped mint and parsley to create a dressing.
- 6.Pour the dressing over the warm lentil mixture and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the salad onto two plates and top with the rested lamb chops to serve.
