WARM RED LENTIL SALAD

2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 1/2 cups red lentils
3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
150 g baby spinach leaves
100 g goats' cheese
Cracked black pepper
Lime wedges

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, garlic and ginger to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add lentils to pan and cook for 1 minute. Add stock 1 cup at a time until liquid has been absorbed. This could take about 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir mint and coriander through lentils.

To serve, place spinach leaves in serving bowls, and top with lentils and goats' cheese. Sprinkle salad with pepper and serve with lime.

Serves 4.
