ringo said:I made a version of The Eagle's puy lentils with almost exactly those ingredients last week, was lovely. I'll try and find the recipe.
POOEY lentils though, be warned.Those are puy lentils, which are my faves! They're nice and firm and taste almost meaty!
BACON. ALWAYS ADD BACON.For some reason I have a hankering for lentils today. Have a bag of green lentils, bacon, garlic, mushrooms, chicken stock and a fair mix of herbs/spices to chuck in.
Will add an onion to this. Anything else?

Braised Puy Lentils
Margot Henderson - Eagle Cookbook
Serves 4
6 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 leek, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium loose leaved cabbage, thinly sliced
175g puy lentils
175ml white wine
1 lemon
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt & pepper
Heat 5 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, leek and garlic and cook gently until soft, then add the lentils.
Add the wine and reduce by half (about 5 minutes). Add enough water to the pan so that the lentils abd vegetables are covered by about 2cm and cook for about 20-30 minutes.
The lentils should still hold their shape when cooked but be tender.
Just before serving, stir the cabbage into the lentils - it will cook in the hot lentils. Add a squeeze of lkemon juice, the mustard and the remaining oil to the pan, stir well and season to taste just before serving.

i'm pondering varying my diet with stuff so simple to cook that even i can do it, and cheap too. i thought of lentils, which i may have eaten twice in my life, but they seem to fit the bill, and in the process discovered this website.
