Success: "Frentils" (French Lentils) [omg]

Sunday, February 23, 2014

Um, you guys. These French lentils from A Sweet Spoonful (which J has renamed 'Frentils') are awesome. Like, up with my Morroccan Spinach & Chickpeas in awesomeness. And even easier to put together. Absolutely delightful with a fried egg. I wish I had more to eat right now.

Until now, I had thought I did not like dry lentils. But these French Le Puy lentils (found in Whole Foods, so not too tricky to track down) as a dry/salad dish are just delightful. I did make the mistake of serving these Frentils with a red lentil soup, lentils + lentils = not so great, but with pretty much any other side dish they'd be great.

[Edit 3/11/14: TheKitchn has a similar recipe, but with bacon and there's also another version with olives and feta. Options!]
