DREAM DUO
Rinse the rice & lentils and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
MEXICAN-STYLE WARM SALSA
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onions and drained kidney beans for 3-4. On completion, the onion should be slightly soft and the kidney beans warmed through. Place in a salad bowl with the halved baby tomatoes, jalapeños, lemon zest, ⅔ chopped coriander, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste.
CHAR YOUR RINGS
Drain the pineapple rings. Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pineapple rings for 1-2 minutes per side until charred.
