Lentils du Puy and Carrot Salad

Ingredients:

·         2 cups Lentils du Puy

·         2 small red onions, peeled and quartered

·         1 bay leaf

·         4 cups vegetable stock

·         Coarse sea salt

·         3 large red carrots, halved lengthwise and cut on a bias into 1⁄2-inch slices

·         3 large orange carrots, halved lengthwise and cut on a bias into 1⁄2-inch slices

·         Olive oil

·         4 green onions, thinly sliced

·         3 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

·         3 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

·         Salt

·         Pepper

·         Juice of 1 lemon

·         1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or walnut mustard

·         ¼ cup olive oil

·         1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions:

1.       Place the lentils, red onions, bay leaf and vegetable stock in a large saucepan. Add a good pinch of salt. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 20–25 minutes, or until the lentils are just al dente. Drain and remove the bay leaf. Place the lentils and onions in a medium salad bowl.

  1. While the lentils are cooking, steam the carrots until they are just tender, 6–7 minutes. Remove from the steamer and let cool to room temperature. Pour a little olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the green onions, parsley, chives and the cooked carrots. Add a pinch of salt and 4–5 grinds black pepper and cook for 4–5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and mix well. Add the carrot mixture to the lentils. In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, ¼ cup olive oil and vinegar to form an emulsion. Add the vinaigrette to the lentils and carrots. Mix well. Let sit at least 30 minutes before serving.
