Sunday is perfect for cooking. On Sundays, we always have time for family cooking or just simple recipes. No stress, let’s enjoy the day!
On the menu: coral lentils, beetroot, black radish and cucumber salad and ham rolled with cream cheese, shallot and basilicum.
Coral lentils have to be cooked in 3 volumes of water during 10 to 15 minutes. Do not put salt in the cooking water. It’s ready when the colour turns beige and it starts looking like purée. Then you drain it.
I used Chioggia beetroot for the salad. It has a nice white and pink color and doesn’t need to be cooked. But it is better to rinse it after peeling it. I grated it with black radish and cucumber. Rinse and peel each of the vegetables before grating them. A simple salad dressing is nice with that.
The ham rolls are with two types of ham : prosciutto and regular ham. Start by cutting in pieces the two types of ham. Then, slice shallot and a leaf of basilicum thinly. Put a layer of cream cheese on the ham, sprinkle with basilicum and shallot. Roll the ham and hold it with a swizzle stick.
Put each element of the meal in disposable food boxes…It’s ready!
