Stuart Gillies' lentil recipes: braised with pasta and spiced with cod
"My favourites are French puy, Italian casteluccio and Spanish pardina, because they're all refined, resilient and delicious; they're versatile, too, and complement all sorts, from fish and meat to vegetables. The rich, Italian-style braised lentils for today's pasta can also act as a base for all manner of other dishes, and they taste better reheated the next day."
"This spiced, aromatic combination pairs beautifully with grilled fish or chicken, and it's finished with homemade garlic-and-parsley-butter crisps. The lentils work equally well without any protein and just grilled bread and salad instead."
Lentils, particularly French puy, Italian casteluccio, and Spanish pardina varieties, are refined and versatile ingredients suitable for numerous dishes. These lentils complement fish, meat, and vegetables effectively. Italian-style braised lentils serve as a base for various preparations and improve in flavor when reheated. A spiced puy lentil dish with aromatic flavors reminiscent of southern Spain and North Africa pairs beautifully with grilled fish or chicken, finished with homemade garlic-and-parsley-butter crisps. The lentils work equally well as a standalone dish with grilled bread and salad, offering both culinary versatility and significant nutritional value.
