Ingredients

  • 1 red onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
  • 14 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 4 tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons capers, drained
  • 250 g cooked lentils (or use canned, as I did)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 slices serrano ham
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, torn into pieces
  • 100 g baby arugula

Method

  • Put the onion in a bowl, drizzle over the vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Set aside for 10 minutes or so until the onion has softened slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in another large bowl, mix the parsley and tomatoes with the capers.
  • When ready to serve, tip the lentils into a sieve and rinse with boiling water, the drain.
  • Toss the onions and their juices into the lentils, then add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and carefully mix everything together.
  • Scoop this onto a large serving platter, then top with the ham, chicken and arugula.
  • Drizzle with additional oil and vinegar, if you like, then serve.
