How can I eat Puy lentils – any recipe ideas for using Puy, both the tinned and dried variety?
A. Please find below ideas that would suit all of our lentils, dried, tinned and in also the wonderful cooked lentils in pouches. At the moment, I’m making a lot of Winter salads with lentils, just warm them through and dress while hot with oil and balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Use this as a base for grilled vegetables, fish, meat chicken or Halloumi. Here are a few more ideas. • Smoked Mackerel or Salmon and Lentil Fishcakes (use the lentils where normally you’d have mash) • Hot Lentil and Bacon Salad • Beluga Lentil, Cheese and Pepper Tortilla Bake with Spicy Lentil and Avocado Salsa • Pan Fried Pork Chops with a Moroccan Type Lentil Salsa, mixed with SunBlush Tomatoes, Almonds, olive oil and lime • Stir Fried Soy, Honey and Ginger Chicken with Lentils, Carrots and Mange Tout (sort of like a chow mien but with lentils instead of noodles) • A lentil Mezze, Lentil Greek salad, Lentil Hummus and Lentil, Feta and Piquillo Pepper Pita • Lentil and Red Onion Cheesy L
