Due to their protein content, lentils can be a valid alternative to a main course based on meat, fish, eggs, or cheese. They can also be consumed as a first course, once or twice a week, combined with pasta or rice.

CHARACTERISTICS: red lentils without their husks, with a delicate flavor and tending to disintegrate during cooking.

SUGGESTIONS: hulled red lentils, precisely because they lack their husks, almost completely disintegrate during cooking. Excellent as a single dish or as a side dish, you just need to prepare a soffritto of carrot, celery, garlic, and onion, add 500g of lentils and enough broth to cover them by about an inch. In 10/15 minutes they will be ready for the blender, which will reduce them to a cream that you can use as a puree or as a potage by simply adding more broth.

PAIRING: Grignolino d'Asti or other white wine.
