Good to know when making green lentil sandwich spread.
I poured the green lentils from the brine into a sieve, I did not rinse them in water.
The olive oil can be replaced with the oil in which the sun-dried tomatoes are marinated. I use this sun-dried tomato oil brine often when making this lentil sandwich spread.
The pickled green peppercorns cannot be replaced with ground pepper. It is marinated peppercorns that give this spread a unique taste.
