Loving Lentils de Puy

I was reading about whole grains, legumes and more importantly– lentils this week. One recipe really stood out– a warm French Lentil and Smoked Pork Belly Salad.

Savory, creamy and healthy goodness or as David Tanis titled his article in the New York Times:
“A Lentil, That Object of Desire” –and then goes on to write:

“if you really want heightened pleasure, serve your lentil salad warm, with a garlicky mustard vinaigrette, adding thick slices of cured pork belly or smoked bacon, boiled fingerling potatoes and lots of chopped scallions and parsley. It makes a magnificent meal.”

Lentils de Puy to be exactement.

Perfect for a light Monday night dinner — even when it’s snowing multiple inches out here in NoHu today and an earthy risotto or robust chili would be more de rigueur.
