Instructions
- 1
Boil the green lentils for 15 minutes, keeping them firm, then drain.
15 min15:00 - 2
Slice the red onion for piyaz, rub it with salt for 1 minute, and reduce its sharpness.
1 min01:00 - 3
Mix the verjuice, olive oil, sumac, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- 4
Combine the lentils with the dressing while still warm and wait 5 minutes so the sourness soaks into the grains.
5 min05:00 - 5
Add the parsley and onion, then serve with egg slices.
- 6
Because warm lentils absorb dressing, add the greens at the end of the resting time.
- 7
When spreading the piyaz on the serving plate, place the egg slices on top so the yolks do not cloud the dressing.
💡 Tip: Keeping the lentils firm preserves the salad texture of the piyaz.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cool, sprinkled with parsley, with bread on the side.
