Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/ fan 200C.
• Peel the parsnip and cut into thick matchsticks. Spread on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook for around 20 minutes until golden.
• In the meantime heat some salted water in 2 separate saucepans. When the water is boiling add the lentils to one and the mug beans to the other. Cook until done (around 12-15 minutes for the lentils and 15-20 minutes for the mung beans). Check frequently as they still should have a bite.
• When done, drain well and set aside.
• While everything is cooking, make the dressing by mixing together crushed garlic, olive oil, vinegar, pomegranate molasses, maple syrup, lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Season to taste.
• When all is cooked mix the parsnips, mung beans, lentils and edamame in a salad bowl. Add the rocket, parsley and pomegranate seeds. Toss in dressing.
