    I’ve really loved puy lentil week. I’m definitely going to use these little emeralds a lot more. To round off the latest “Ingredient of the Week” feature, I’m posting a recipe for a perfect, hugely comforting weekend dinner/ alternative Sunday lunch. I know a lot of people can be reluctant to give lentils a go…

    Puy lentils are good friends with so many other ingredients, including white fish. Back before Delia Smith starting bunging powdered mash in the microwave, she published a beautiful recipe for Sea Bass with Puy Lentil Salsa. This is fast, easy, and healthy dish, using cheap and readily available ingredients. If sea bass is a bit…

    Kudos to CheapEats reader Paula White for her information and recipes on puy lentils, our ingredient of the week. I think I’ll call her the Queen of Lentils: Puy, or French lentils, are justly known as the Queen of Lentils for their taste and versatility! They do require a slightly longer cooking time(50-60 min) than…

    Odd as it may sound, puy lentils are my ultimate (savoury) comfort food. They’re rich and satisfying, meaty and nutritious, full of good proteins, and, unlike red or green lentils, they don’t turn to puree. They’re really cheap, (just over €3 a bag in The Health Store), a bag lasts for ages, and they’re highly…

    According to Conor Pope, people consume around 5,000 calories on Christmas day alone. Tis the season to be a glutton. We’ll tire of ham and all meat around December 27th, at which point I’ll turn to the comforting and delicious of vegetarian foods. The puy lentil is the king of the veggie food (granted, if…

    A big part of eating healthily is cutting down on the food that we all know is full of saturated fat and/or carbohydrates.  There are some very obvious substitutions such as using wholemeal instead of white pasta and switching to wholegrain bread. There are others that are less obvious, such as the clever trick shared…

    December 30th, 2010 brought a new and wonderful thing into my life – a little niece. The brand new beautiful Anna Mae is the daughter of my brother Steve and his wife Aoife, and in the grand tradition of tiny babies everywhere, she is so far spending most of her time either feeding or squawking.…

    I’ve mostly been cooking good old reliable comfort recipes this week, so haven’t tried out too many new recipes. As we batten down the hatches for the weekend, I thought I’d relink to some of CheapEats most popular comfort food recipes. Rercy’s Lebanse Style Shepherds Pie brings a heartwarming taste of the middle east to…

    Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I’ve spent most of the last week eating, sleeping, and watching TV by the fire, punctuated by the occasional social gathering and repressed bout of guilt: January 4th would soon arrive and normal service would resume. The day has arrived and the snow and…
