Lentil and Chicken Tajine
3 portions
25 Minutes
Middle eastern-inspired lentil salad. So last night we didn’t have a lot of fresh produce at home so I decided to make something quick but delicious from mostly canned and frozen food. You still can make it taste delicious by using the right seasoning and pairing of ingredients. ⠀I decided to use some chicken but you can definitely leave it out and make it vegetarian. With the distinct flavor of saffron and a flatbread on the side, this almost looks like a planned middle eastern dish, but to be honest, it just happened to turn out like this. It even tasted better today as a leftover lunch, but he, doesn't everything taste better the next day? It might seem like a lot of ingredients but I promise you it's so quick to make!⠀
