Suggestion: Preparation Time – 15 minutes. Cooking Time – 20 minutes

Place the vegetable stock into a medium size pot over a medium high heat. Once the stock just starts to simmer, pour in the lentils. Bring to a very gentle simmer and place a lid onto the pot and cook for 15-20 mins until the lentils are just cooked (at this point just about all the vegetable stock would have been absorbed by the lentils). Add salt.

Remove from the heat and stir through ¼ cup of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, cut each of the avocados in half, removing the seeds and skin. Dice the avocados into approx 1cm cubes.

Place the avocado, thyme, parsley, red onion, bitter oranges and the remaining amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a large mixing bowl along with the lentils. Gently toss together well and season with ground pepper and sea salt to taste.

Serve at room temperature.
