Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup brown lentils -- washed, picked through

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 cup cooked rice -- or double

1 medium red onion -- finely chopped

1/2 cup sultanas (golden raisins)

4 tablespoons italian parsley -- finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 naan bread

 

1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and pour over the lentils in a large bowl. Let

soak 1 hour, then drain. Transfer the lentils to a large saucepan, add 2 cups of

water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, until just

tender, about 35 minutes. Drain and set aside.

 

2. Whisk together the lemon juice and the oil. In a large bowl, combine the

lentils, rice, onion, and sultanas, and mix thoroughly. Pour the lemon juice and

oil over and mix well. Let stand, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1

hour. Just before serving, add the parsley, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

 

3. Warm the naan breads in the oven for a few minutes so they are pliable but

not crisp. Place about 1 cup of the salad on each of the breads and roll up.
