So, I knew I had the French lentils in my pantry in Florida, and I knew I would not be in Florida until October. In my head, I obsessed about this lentil recipe all those months. We got home yesterday, and tonight the lentils are on my table.
And Barbara, I have to say, "They are absolutely delicious!" The only difference in her photo and mine....she is the chef....cutting everything to perfection. I am the cook...simply putting it all together. See how large my chunks of zucchini are? (sigh) I would guess the flavor is not that different.
Last week I made a soup with lentils; so special. I am saving this one; now I must look for French lentils.

Welcome home Susan!
ReplyDeleteWhat's most important is that you were inspired by something that you enjoyed eating, and you came home and recreated it....I love the simplicity of this dish, it has soul.
Cheers.

Your version looks "absolutely delicious" to me, Susan. I love lentils and am always looking for a new way to prepare them. I'm happy to know you are home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteThis does look delicious! I love lentils too but have never found the Puy region lentils here. I'd love to try them one day.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
Great to have you back, Susan! And this looks fabulous! From your fellow cook-friend. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are to your winter nest!!! I'd take a serving of your lentils anyday!! I suspect you are right about the taste. ;) Yours certainly look delicious. blessings ~ Tanna
ReplyDeleteBon apetit Susan and Dale! I am very flattered that you like this salad and am happy to know you are both safely back home.
ReplyDeleteI bet it feels good to be back cooking in your kitchen! This recipe sounds delish - no matter how big the zucchini is cut! Only 60 degrees here today and super windy. I'd start a pot of soup, but I have other things thawed that need to be eaten.
ReplyDeletehi Susan
ReplyDeleteI love French lentils and there certainly is a difference, your dish looks amazingly delicious, and does take me back to Provence! Thanks for bringing back those memories!

I'm happy to have another delicious lentil recipe! Now, what I think you might be able to provide me with is a recipe for sauerbraten. I've had a hankering for it of late. I made it years ago. It was to be for a dinner party but, alas, I didn't read the recipe through and, just hours before the guests were to arrive, I read step #7 (or so) that said to marinate it, turning frequently, for FOUR days!! Needless to say, we had steaks that evening.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
