French Lentils and Soft Eggs with Dukkah and Arugula
This is one of those brilliant eggs-for-dinner dishes. The eggs add a heft and creaminess to the lentils and the arugula balances it all out. It’s delicious on its own, but the spelt flatbreads round it out nicely, too.

- 1 small white onion, diced (about ½ cup)
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced (about ½ cup)
- 1 celery stalk, trimmed and diced (about ½ cup)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 3½ cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 4 eggs
- 1 shallot, finely chopped (about ⅛ cup)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons dukkah spice blend
- to serve:
- 4 cups arugula
- olive oil
- 1 lemon
- Spelt Flatbread
Serves 4.
