Black Beluga Lentils
These Black Beluga Lentils caught my eye awhile back. Lentils are a great way to get your protein so we usually just pair them with a nice big green salad.
Ingredients
- 2 thick slab slices of bacon cut into lardons
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 shallots finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 3 carrots small diced
- 2 stalks celery small diced
- 4 sprigs of oregano chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of dried beluga lentils rinsed well and picked over
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Saute bacon until crisp in a large pan.
- Remove and drain off fat.
- Add the olive oil to the pan and saute the shallot, garlic, carrots, and celery until tender.
- Add the oregano and saute for 1 minute.
- Make sure to salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the lentils and chicken broth, cover, and cook simmering until the broth has been absorbed and the lentils are tender about 30 min.
- Add the bacon back into the pot and stir to heat.
- Garnish with parsley.
