Maple Lentil with roasted chili

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: yellow onion, garlic, vegetable stock and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the lentil and let it maple, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the olive oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
