2 aubergines

Salt

Elaboration:

  1. We scald the aubergines directly on the flame of the fire.

  9. We serve the lentils with the roasted aubergines on top and a drizzle of olive oil.



Note : thes Beluga lentils are a variety that does not require pre-soaking. A good option is to put them with warm water when we start preparing the recipe, in this way we clean and soften them at the same time.
