Just a quick follow up to the Lentil de Puy recipe that I previously posted.
I made it and did not care for it. I would make it again but tweak it a bit.

I’d forget the pork and add roasted chicken or fish– or serve without a protein content.
I’d add raw or sauteed shredded carrots to give it some color and crunch and / or maybe baby portabella mushrooms to add to the earthiness.

I will try it again and report back.

But in the meantime I stumbled upon a great simple recipe by David Lebovitz.
Mr. Lebovitz who now resides in Paris, is a former award winning chef — fairing from iconic Chez Panisse, as well as a noted author.
So when he speaks of Lentils de Puy– one must sit up and take notice. Oui?

Here’s his take on the classic French salad:

Try his recipe or one of his useful variations and let me know how it turns out.
Cheers!
