Description

Lentil Bruschetta is a flavorful dish combining cooked lentils, crumbled feta, and toasted bread. This recipe features simple prep and fresh ingredients, making it a healthy and satisfying choice for gatherings or quick meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cup (1 can) cooked green lentils, drained
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta
  • 3 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
  • 6 slices of bread (ciabatta or artisanal bread)

Instructions

  1. In a salad bowl, place the lentils and smash half of them using the back of a spoon or a fork.
  2. Add crumbled feta, chopped parsley, chopped onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the sliced bread on a baking tray and toast until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Alternatively, use a toaster or a skillet to toast the bread.
  5. Top each slice of toasted bread with a generous spoonful of lentil dip. If desired, rub each slice with a garlic clove before adding the lentils. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Adjust seasonings according to your preference to enhance the flavor.
Serve immediately for the best taste, but it can also be stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
Feel free to add other toppings or spices for a personal touch.
