Put the green lentils in a pot with water, boil until still firm, and drain.
Finely chop the red onion, hot green pepper, and parsley.
Lightly crush the mustard seeds in a mortar, then mix with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Combine the lentils, red onion, hot pepper, and parsley with the dressing.
Rest the azifa in the cold for at least 10 minutes before serving.
💡 Tip: Do not over soften the lentils; when they stay firm, they carry the salad dressing better.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with injera, flatbread, or green salad.
