Dice one red onion.

Finely chop a clove of garlic.

Heat a pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the diced onion to the pan and brown for a few minutes.

Once the onions are caramelized, add the chopped garlic.

Stir until the garlic is also caramelized.

Add 1 cup of canned cannellini beans and stir to combine.

Add 1/2 cup of red lentils and stir again.

Add 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar to cut the richness of the sauce.

Season with salt and black pepper, then stir and simmer for 1-2 minutes on low heat.

Add water to loosen up the sauce and prevent sticking, then simmer for about 15 minutes until the lentils are al dente.

Peel and dice a cucumber and chop up a tomato for a salad.

Season the cucumber and tomato with dried mint and salt, then stir to coat.

Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano.

Check the beans and stir, adding a splash of water if they are sticking.

Chop parsley finely and sprinkle over the beans.

Serve with crunchy spring onions and crumbled feta cheese.

Slice and toast the bread, then put the beans on top.
