Lentils, I think I have said it before, but I am big fan. They have so much taste, are so healthy, and definitely perfect to serve without meat! I love them in a stew, as buger, but also as a salad.
This time I used the Du Puy lentils. Green lentils coming for the Le Puy area in France. I really like their taste! For me lentils can be combined with many different flavours. Today I decided to mix them with beetroot, red onion and goats cheese, which is quite classic. For the surprise effect I have added pomegranate seeds, mint and sumak. It worked our really well I must say!
Did you know that lentils are a real super food when it comes to nutrients? They are an absolute protein bomb! Half of it consists of dietary fiber and proteins. Which is quite rare in a food.
