puy lentils and where to find them

[Guest guest]

Ah, I see, I am american but living in europe and that is what they

are called here. In the states they might be called beluga lentils?

Not sure.

 

You could go buy visual. Do a search for puy lentil pics and you will

see what they look like. They are smaller than green or brown lentils

and black, with just a little bit of speckling to them. I think my

sister in america got them in the bulk section of whole foods or a

similar place.

 

if you've never had them, you are in for a treat! The classic way to

make them--french style--is to cook them with herbs and oil and

vinegar and then to make a cold salad of them with vegetables,

viniagrette and goats cheese.

 

yummy!
