Beluga Lentils with Canned Cannellini Beans Recipe

This is a great stand-by recipe. You can use any type of lentils - depending on what look you want. We use beluga lentils often because the cook so quickly, but this recipe would be very pretty with red, french green, or orange lentils -- to add color to the plate. Just alter the lentil cook time, depend on the type and size of lentil.

Directions:


1. Wash the lentils and remove anything that doesn't belong. (Note, our lentils are the highest quality -- so there should not be anything but lentils in the bag -- but you never know...) Place lentils in heavy sauce plan, add Glace de Poulet and approximately 8 cups of water to cover the lentils.

2. Add garlic greens to the pot, and bring lentils to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until the lentils are soft but not too soft.

3. Drain excess liquid and let sit covered for 5-10 minutes. Place lentils on a serving dish.

4. Open can of beans and drain off liquid. Place drained beans on top of the lentils.

Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
