Comment préparer Spiced Lentils And Cantaloupe

Rinse 1 cup of green or brown lentils thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy.
Drain the cooked lentils in a fine-mesh sieve and set aside to cool completely.
While the lentils cool, prepare the cantaloupe: Cut 1 small cantaloupe (about 2 cups cubed) into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled lentils, cubed cantaloupe, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and the juice of 1/2 lime.
Gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
