INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the lentils

Combine lentils, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt to medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, 18 to 24 minutes. Drain any remaining water and transfer cooked lentils to medium bowl.

2
Prepare the walnut mixture

Combine walnuts, parsley, mayo, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl.

3
Broil the artichokes

Position oven rack in middle of oven and set broiler to high. Add artichoke hearts, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to baking sheet and toss. Broil until artichoke heart edges are crispy, 4 to 8 minutes. (TIP: All broilers are different. Watch carefully to ensure food doesn’t burn.)

4
Finish the lentils

Add roasted red peppers, shallot, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp olive oil to cooked lentils. Stir Dijon lentils and season to taste with salt and pepper.

5
Crust the artichokes

Remove baking sheet from oven, and move roasted artichoke hearts to one side and top with walnut mixture. Add zucchini to other side, toss in residual oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Return baking sheet to oven and broil until walnut crust is toasted and zucchini is browned in places, 4 to 6 minutes.

6
Serve

Sprinkle lemon zest on roasted artichokes and zucchini. Divide Dijon lentils and zucchini between plates. Top with walnut crusted artichokes. Serve with lemon wedges. Dig in!
