How horrible does this sound? But actually they taste
amazing. This will make 2 sandwiches. My advice is: don’t tell him what’s in it
in advance. Just wait until he’s hungry and hand him one.
2 eggs, hard boiled
2 ½ tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp curry powder
4 tbsp cooked puy lentils
A few raisins
4 thick slices bread, preferably the kind with poppy seeds
cooked through it
A handful of flat leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
If you’re using tinned puy lentils rinse them very
thoroughly and dry slightly in paper towels. Puy lentils are the firm, green
French ones with a nutty flavour. You can’t substitute other kinds. If you
can’t source them, just leave them out.
Roughly chop the eggs and mix well with the mayo, curry
powder and salt and pepper. Stir in the lentils and raisins. Butter the bread
and top one side with the egg mix. Top with the chopped parsley and the other
slice. Press down. Repeat to make the other sandwich. Wrap in Clingfilm and
chill if you’ve made them ahead of time.
Take your boy to the British Museum. When you’ve worn him
out buy him a takeaway coffee and give him his sandwich. For many reasons this
is best had on a park bench outside. It’s no less good for that though. These
sandwiches are very tasty. Consider it a success when he wants to go back to
the museum after lunch. Surely he deserves the chocolate brownie you secretly picked up in the coffee shop. His face lights up - your whole being lights up.
