Ingredients
1 c dry green lentils + 2 cups water for cooking1 c dry couscous + 1 1/4 c water for cooking1 red bell pepper diced1/3 c red onion diced1 celery stalk diced2 cloves garlic minced3 tbsp fresh dill (or I used dill paste)1-2 tbsp of fresh mint1/4 c fresh parsley1-2 tbsp of olive oil1 tsp salt1/4 c lime juice (juice from 1 lime)lime zestpepper to taste
Rinse lentils and clean them of any soil. Heat them in a pot with 2 cups water until boiling. Then keep covered and simmer for 10-15 minutes. (Don't let them get too soft so check after 10 minutes.)
Heat 1 cup water until boiling then add couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Set aside for 5 minutes for the couscous to absorb water.
As for all over ingredients, chop finely and add to large bowl. Mix well with lentils and couscous. Allow this to sit for awhile for all the flavors to marinade.
I calculated calories at 1 cup servings but as a side dish, a 1/2 cup should be enough.
Serving Size: Makes 7 (1) cup servings
