Instructions:
- Cook Lentils: Rinse lentils thoroughly and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.
- Blanch Broccoli: Bring a pot of water to boil and blanch broccoli florets for about 2 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Preserved Lemon: Remove seeds from the preserved lemon half and finely chop the rind.
- Stir-fry: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the blanched broccoli, cooked lentils, and preserved lemon. Stir well to combine.
- Season: Season the stir-fry with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
- Finish and Serve: Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and flavors are well combined. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
