OF GREEN PUY LENTILS:
220 g GREEN PUY LENTILS
1 diced carrot
1 chopped onion
3/4 l chicken or beef stock
50 g goose fat
80 g salt bacon, diced

adding the carrot, leek, onion and herbs. Cook very gently for
about 1 _ hours.
COOKING THE GREEN PUY LENTILS:
Place the GREEN PUY LENTILS in cold water and bring to the boil,
then drain. Brown the diced salt bacon in the goose fat, with
the diced carrots and the chopped onion. Add the GREEN PUY LENTILS
already blanched, the herbs and the chicken or beef stock, cook
for 25 to 30 min according to taste, drain and keep the cooking
liquid. Reduce this cooking liquid with one of two soupspoons
of the cooked GREEN PUY LENTILS. After 5 min, stir a large knob
of butter into this mixture and add to the rest of the GREEN PUY
LENTILS. You have both the firm texture of the lentils and the
flavour of the mixed lentils.
