I use the tiny dark brown pardina lentils of Castilla y León, which are very similar to French puy lentils and have the same earthy flavour. |
By comparison, the roast cod on puy lentils was more predictable and disappointing. |
Food is taken seriously and the no-nonsense menu includes pan-roast lamb rump with puy lentils and roasted root veg. |
A good element of the clergy, notably the Bishop of puy, by word and example sought to stay the full flood of wickedness. |
Finally, the roasted whole boneless quail, plumped with black pudding and puy lentils, proved hardest to resist. |
The puy lentils were very salty and were only just saved by some superb thick-cut bacon which, well, saved its bacon. |
