Puy Lentils are a lovely slate grey colour and have an earthy flavour that is delicious in soups, stews and salads. They keep their shape well during cooking too. Use the dried lentils for this recipe as a can of lentils will cook too quickly. If you like them, you can add carrots or parsnips too to this hearty vegetarian supper. If you want to add a little meat, fry some bacon lardoons or chorizo when frying the onions. We’ve served this dish with quinoa but you could also serve it with mash or a large hunk of crusty bread.
