Spiced Lentils
True Puy lentils come from the region of France, Le Puy, which has a unique climate and colcanic soil in which the lentils thrive. Always pick over lentils very carefully before cooking them to remove any little stones that may be among them. The dark colour of Puy lentils means that the stones can be harder to find.
Total time: 22 min
Servings: 4
Equipment: Stove
- 3/2 c. Puy Lentils
- 5/2 c. Water
- 7 oz. Feta Cheese
- 5 tbsp. Sun-Dried Tomato Paste
- 1/4 c. Chervil | Parsley, plus extra to garnish
- Place the lentils in a heavy pan with the measured water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover the pan. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes, until the lentils are just tender and most of the water has been absorbed.
- Crumble half the feta cheese into the pan. Add the sun-dried tomato purêe, chopped chervil or flat leaf parsley and a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat through for 1 minute.
- Transfer the lentil mixture and juices to warmed plates or bowls. Crumble the remaining feta cheese on top and sprinkle with the fresh herbs to garnish. Serve the lentils immediately.
