Lentil Vegetable Gratin
|
I had this wonderful lentil dish at a seaside lunch served by the Carlton Hotel in Cannes.
It can be served either hot or cold and is quite unusual.
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cups strong beef broth
2 cups lentils, washed and picked over
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 carrot, grated
1 celery stalk, thinly chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mixed herbs, parsley. thyme,oregano
|
Saute the onion, carrot and celery in the oil until soft. Add the garlic and saute for another minute.
Add 4 cups broth, the lentils, and boil until the lentils are cooked, about twenty, mintues. Stir
occasionally and add more broth if needed. When the lentils are cooked, drain in a colander
to remove and liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste and let cool
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk and beat some more. Add the bread crumbs, 1/4 cup cheese,
herbs, and mix well. Add the cooked lentil mixture and combine thoroughly.
Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray and pour mixture into it. Smooth the surface with
a spatula. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Serve hot or cold.
Enjoy with our 2005 Sauvignon Blanc.
