French-Style Green Lentil
Free shipping on orders $50+
Description
Small, dense green lentils hold their shape for salads and more.
Heart green lentils famous as a side dish, in stews, soups, and even salads. West Coast-grown for our own unique terroir. These lentils are very similar to lentilles du Puy, which must be grown in France. We think our West Coast terroir adds to the flavor.
Cooking Suggestions
Salads, soups, stews
From the Rancho Gordo Kitchen
Famous as a side dish, and in stews, soups, and salads. They thrive in warm dishes like soups and stews, but we love them in a very french salad with grated carrots and a strong Dijon vinaigrette.
Cooking Instructions
Check lentils for debris, and rinse thoroughly. Place in a pot and add enough water to cover by about 2 inches. If you like, add aromatics like a bay leaf or garlic clove. Bring to a full boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer, using a lid to help regulate the heat, and gently cook until done, 25 to 35 minutes. Salt to taste. Remove aromatics, and serve

"Every day it seems like there's a new startup claiming high-protein cricket flour will heal the world, that we're supposedly on the verge of a golden age of lab-grown meat. When I hear about stuff like that lately, I can't help but think: when we've got lentils this good, why go through the trouble?"
