Warm stone fruit, herbed millet, lentil and mozzarella salad

Serves: 4
Total Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 125ml (½ cup) Knorr Creamy Italian Salad Dressing
  • 125ml (½ cup) water
  • 6 peaches, nectarines or plums (or an assortment of them), cut into halves and quarters
  • 500ml (2 cups) vegetable stock
  • 210g (1 cup) millet
  • 1 x 400g tin lentils, drained and rinsed
  • handful fresh chives, chopped
  • handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 120g buffalo mozzarella/fior di latte, torn into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

1

Pour the Knorr Creamy Italian Salad Dressing and water into a medium saucepan placed over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to the boil. Remove from heat, add the stone fruit and combine. Set aside until needed.

2

Place a small, lidded pot over medium-high heat and pour the vegetable stock into it. Cover with the lid and bring to the boil. Add the millet to the boiling water, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 – 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and drain off any excess cooking liquid using a sieve.

3

Use a fork to fluff up the cooked millet and combine gently with the lentils and chopped herbs.

4

Place the millet mixture in a serving bowl to serve with the stone fruit and buffalo mozzarella/fior di latte. Serve immediately.

Notes

At your next braai, place roasting veggies on a large foil sheet, drizzle with Knorr Creamy Italian Salad Dressing, a few knobs of butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Add a garlic clove and a few fresh rosemary sprigs, then enclose to create a parcel. Wrap the parcel in foil again to create a double layer. Place on the coals for about 30 minutes for an easy and delicious braai side dish.
