Step-by-step instructions

0/6 done
  1. 1

    Cook the lentils in plenty of water in a pot with a closed lid over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly firm.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the spinach. Remove the thick stems. Wash the radicchio, cut lengthwise, remove the core, and slice into 1 cm strips. Wash the tomatoes and cut into wedges, removing the stems.

  3. 3

    For the vinaigrette, mix both vinegars, salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp of olive oil in a salad bowl. Drain the lentils, let them drip dry in a sieve, and mix with the vinaigrette. Add spinach, radicchio, and tomatoes, and let the salad marinate slightly.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 100Β°C. Clean the eggplant, wash, and cut diagonally into 1 cm thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 10 minutes. Beat the eggs in a deep plate, season with pepper, and stir in the cheese. Place the flour in another plate.

  5. 5

    Dry the eggplant slices with paper towels, dip them in flour, then in the egg mixture. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large coated pan. Fry the eggplant slices over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove, drain on paper towels, and keep warm in the oven.

  6. 6

    Season the lentil salad again with salt and pepper. Serve with eggplant piccata, garnished with pumpkin seeds.
