I think lentils fall into the ‘love ‘em or hate ‘em’ category, I’ll be honest they aren’t something I work with on a regular basis and I don’t know why as they friggin’ rock!! Like rice or pasta lentils are a carrier for flavour, they are pretty bland on their own so you need to give them some love and attention. I’m also told they are good for your spleen……nice.

There are tonnes of recipes like this one, I’ve just chosen Duck as I had some kicking around the fridge but other things that really work are Toulouse Sausage, Pork and meaty white fish like Cod, Haddock or Hake.
