    Sea bream with asparagus and capers

    Working and living alone in London i have realized how important it is to prepare something to eat which can be equally simple but tasteful also. Something that you can show off to your friends, but also make it by yourself when you are coming back from work and want something that requires not a lot hassle.

  • Lentil Salad with mustard sauce

    Lentil Salad with mustard sauce

    Making a salad is never something that excited me a lot. Up until couple of years ago i always thought that salads should only be used as a part of a full meal rather than the main course.

    All those things changed slowly and i have included a variety of salads to my diet. One of those that i do regurarly is the following which i am really proud of.

    You see not only its quite healthy but the sauce has two of favourite ingredients. Mustard and Balsamic!

    Ingredients: Lentil Salad with Mustard Sauce

    • 1 cup of Lentils
    • 1 red onion finely cut
    • 1 small bunch of parsley
    • 2 cloved of garlic
    • 1 green pepper sliced
    • 2 teaspoons of olive oil
    • 3 teaspoons of balsamic
    • 2 small spoons of dijon or wholegrain mustard

    Nothing too fancy about it.  Try to boil the lentils really good and drain them when they are ready.

    In a bowl make the sauce and mix everything together. Leave them in the fridge for 30 mins and its ready to serve.
