Lentils with wine-glazed vegetables

Mar 30, 2006 18:04

I made a huge batch of these over the weekend and have been eating them with rice all week! I love most lentil dishes, but this one has a particularly complex flavor that I think makes it particularly well-suited to being served as a main dish.

What type of lentils did you use?

The cookbook recommends green ones (also sometimes called "lentils de puy"), but I just used regular brown ones :)

mmm, I love lentils! I am definitely adding this to my memories and will make it next time I can afford wine. ;P~

I used "cooking wine," which only runs $4/bottle here in the Northeast US. It took about 1/3 of the bottle for this recipe. I'm sure it would be awesome with good wine, but it's fine without :)

Thanks for the tip! I'm not sure if any of the cooking wines here in Australia are vegan/vegetarian, which is what I'd use... I'd love it if they were because they ARE so much cheaper for cooking! Unfortunately I'm limited where wines are concerned because local retailers don't seem to stock a huge range of veg-friendly varieties.

But I'm thinking I might try this recipe with some red wine vinegar and increase other liquids... it wouldn't taste as yummy as the original recipe, but it might be good too! :)
