LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2019
Not only are whole green lentils delicious as a wintry salad base, they’re also nutritious. In a 1/2 cup (125 mL), there are 12 grams of protein and a third of your daily fibre needs. For a salad you need the firmer texture of green or brown lentils, while soups and curries call for the smaller red, orange and yellow lentils—they’re quicker to cook and will fall apart.
WHAT TO SERVE “What grows together, goes together” guides the pairing of herbes de Provence-infused lentils and a Pays d’Oc wine. The red resounds with southern French herbs along with berry and spice tones to brighten earthy lentils. Marius Rouge Pays d’Oc LCBO 470096, $13.95
