Fish Parcels with Lentils and Tomatoes

Serves 4

This is a great way to introduce more pulses into the diet, which are low G.I and a good source of fibre.  Lentils are easy to cook and this combination could also be  served as a salad on its own or with chicken.  Try adding different vegetables in the foil squares such as carrots, zucchini and green beans.
