Sunny-Side Up Lentil Salad

Ingredients for Sunny-Side Up Lentil Salad

• 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes, including liquid

• 240ml chopped onion

• 80g lentils, rinsed

• 70g finely diced celery

• 50g finely diced carrot

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

• 2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon (or parsley)

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

• 4 eggs

• 4 cups mixed baby lettuces

Boil 725ml water, tomatoes, onion, lentils, celery, carrot and thyme in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; reserve cooking liquid. Return liquid to pan; boil over high heat to reduce liquid to 60ml . Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and lentil mixture to liquid; stir over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon tarragon; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat but keep warm. Whisk remaining 1/2 tablespoons vinegar in a bowl with mustard and oil; add salt and pepper. Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray; set over medium heat. Carefully add eggs so yolks remain whole; cook until whites are set; add salt and pepper. Toss lettuces with mustard dressing; divide evenly among 4 plates. Top greens with 1/4 lentils and 1 egg each; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon.
