About

Light, healthy and so easy to prepare. I used crimson lentils because I had them on hand, but black or green de Puy will be fine as well. No salt is used, by choice.
The recipe below is for 2. You can serve it in individual plates or on a large one. Or, of course augment the portions via the serving size  tab on the page
A playfulness between light sweet and pungent and brought together by a dash of olive oil.
