Tartines with Vegetal Caviar
This could be described as a non-recipe, given the simplicity of its realization. Let’s say that is more an idea to create very nice optical effects ! ๐ I’ve got the idea from the sales assistant of the organic shop where I stock up: she said the beluga lentils are defined the vegetarians’ caviar! Don’t know if this is true, but I really liked the idea! They are very small and very black lentils, which take only 20 minutes to be done. Mine are from Rapunzel’s. I hope that at least you might like the idea ๐
Ingredients:
beluga lentils, cooked (seasoned with a little of extra virgin olive oil)
dried tomatoes
vegrino or any other spreadable vegan cheese
chives, to decorate
vegetables (carrots, peppers, asparagus, etc. …)
sliced sandwich bread
Method:
Nothing easier: toast some bread (preferably sliced sandwich bread), crust removed. Brush the slices with a little vegan cheese or soy butter. In a triangle of the slice place the lentils, and in the other the tomatoes, cut into small pieces. Arrange them on a plate and serve with vegetables, cut into strips, and a tablespoon of vegrino on the side (where we’ll dip our vegetables ๐ )
Comments:
I don’t think I ever tasted caviar, and I don’t know what it tastes like (fish?), of course here it tastes like lentils … but I think the effect is very nice! ๐ Also, there are no quantities, as it depends on how many tartines you want. Hope this might give you some ideas, I hug you!
