Simon's Lentil Obsession

5 Minute Food Fix

About

521 episodes into this podcast and Simon Davis finally unveils his deep and passionate obsession with Puy Lentils.


In the following episode, you'll start by making a sofritto with onion, carrot and celery, fried down carefully for about 20 minutes. A small bag of unsoaked puy lentils will then go in and be plumped out with water and cook time. Add in a stock cube and some lemon.


THIS IS YOUR BASE.


Then to it you can add all kinds of inspiration:

More lemon juice

Crumbled fetta

Salad leaves and a fresh dice of red capsicum

Smoked paprika


Serve with your main and love yourself smug!
