Ingredients

  • cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 2 cup vegetable broth

  • 1 cup dried brown lentils

  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped

  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 1 large shallot, minced

  • 2 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

  • cup microgreens

Directions

  1. For dressing, preheat oven to 375°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Add the 2/3 cup tomatoes, garlic, and 1 Tbsp. of the oil to pan; toss to coat. Sprinkle with a little kosher salt. Roast 20 minutes, stirring once. Remove from oven and place tomato mixture in blender. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and vinegar; cover and blend until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan combine broth and lentils. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until tender and all of the broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

  3. In a large bowl combine lentils, carrots, the 1/2 cup tomatoes, shallot, and chives. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Serve on Anytime Socca, other flatbread, or toasted baguette slices. Top with microgreens.
