140 g broken groats
140 g lentils

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook lentils and groats separately in salted water according to package instructions. Drain them and mix together.
2
Cut carrots and bacon into 0.5 cm cubes.
3
In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté carrots for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to the lentils and groats. In the same pan, sauté bacon for 2 minutes and stir it into the lentils, groats, and carrots.
4
Heat the broth, add sugar and vinegar, and let the sugar dissolve. Pour over the lentils with groats, carrots, and bacon. Carefully and gently mix everything. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Finely chop parsley and stir it into the salad. Let it rest in a warm place for a while so that all the flavors combine and the liquid is absorbed by the lentils and groats. Serve the salad with fish.

Tip

Do not overcook the lentils and groats. For cooking, you need approximately three times more water than legumes. Instead of groats, you can use cooked buckwheat. You can also serve the salad lukewarm.
