  • About

DePuy lentils from France, now available in specialty food shops, are particularly good. You may have to adjust their cooking time slightly.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (about 12 ounces) raw lentils, picked over
  • 1 small onion, peeled
  • <

Method

  1. Place the lentils in a saucepan with the onion, thyme, bay leaf, and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so that the water boils gently. Cook, covered, until the lentils are tender but not mushy, 30 to 40 minutes (the timing can vary).
  2. Drain the lentils; discard the liquid and aromatics (onion, thyme sprigs, bay leaf). Season the lentils with salt
