Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup beluga lentils; 1/4 cup raw almonds; 1 pound carrots, washed and peeled; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 lemon, zested and juiced; 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses or honey; 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 1/4 cup fresh mint, washed, dried, and chopped; 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, washed, dried, and chopped

Servings: persons

1/2 cup beluga lentils
1/4 cup raw almonds
1 pound carrots, washed and peeled
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses or honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh mint, washed, dried, and chopped
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, washed, dried, and chopped

1
Begin with the lentils. Place the lentils in a small pot and cover with water by 1-2 inches. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, cooking for 15-18 minutes uncovered or until lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, toast the almonds. Place the almonds in a skillet over medium- low heat and toast for 8-10 minutes or until almonds are toasted, shaking pan often. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and roughly chop. Set aside.
3
Shave the carrots into a bowl using a vegetable peeler. I find it easiest to shave from the top to the bottom first as you rotate the carrot and then flip the carrot upside down and continue the process. I found I was able to shave the most carrots this way.
4
Make the vinaigrette. Combine the cumin, cinnamon, salt, lemon zest and juice, pomegranate molasses, and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl and whisk until combined.
5
In a bowl, combine the carrots, lentils, mint, parsley, and dressing, and toss to combine. Taste to adjust for salt. Toss in the almonds right before serving.
