Ingredients:

  • 130g lentils
  • ½ broccoli or cauliflower, cut into flowers

  1. Place the lentils in a medium pan with three times as much water, add salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes until the lentils are tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the lentils are cooking, place the broccoli or cauliflower, carrots, new potatoes, onions and garlic in a roasting tin. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the new potatoes are soft throughout.
  3. Remove them from the oven and tip into a mixing bowl, add the pesto and lentils and mix through. Toast the sunflower seeds and sprinkle on top. Add vegan or normal feta to serve.
