Ingredients
1/2 cup (125 mL) dried lentils, rinsed and sorted for stones and shriveled lentils
1/3 cup (75 mL) quick-cooking brown rice
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped red onion
3 tbsp (45 mL) fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried pepper flakes
1 cup (250 mL) chopped fresh mint or Italian parsley
Directions
1In a large saucepan, bring water and lentils to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in bulgur, quinoa and rice. Cover and cook for 12-13 minutes, or until lentils are just tender. Drain in a fine mesh sieve. Run under cold water to cool quickly. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl.
2Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine bell pepper, onion, lemon zest and juice, canola oil and pepper flakes. Stir until well blended.
3Stir in drained lentil mixture and mint. Toss gently until well blended. Gently fold in goat cheese and serve on lettuce leaves.
