    How to Prepare Pan Fried Cabbage with Lentils, Red Peppers and Limey Avocado [Vegan]

    1. To make lentil salad, combine all ingredients in a medium- sized bowl and stir until well combined. Marinate salad for at least 10 minutes, or cover and store in the fridge overnight before serving the next day.
    2. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot. Evenly coat the bottom of the pan with the heated oil and then add cabbage wedges cut side down. Brown without moving the wedges for about 8 minutes. Once browned on one side, flip each wedge to its other cut side and brown on that side, which should take 4-5 minutes on the second side.
    3. Combine avocado and lime juice in a small bowl, stir and set aside until you are ready to serve.
    4. Once cabbage wedges are browned, serve by first placing 1-2 cabbage wedges into a bowl, then scooping 2-3 large spoonfuls of lentil salad over the wedges and finally top with a few small spoonfuls of limey avocado and sprinkle with parsley (if using).
