Le Puy lentils, the prized French green lentils, hold their shape beautifully when cooked, making them perfect for a hearty side dish. They simmer in stock with carrot, celery, onion, garlic, and our Organic Thyme, finished with a splash of bourbon or scotch for subtle warmth. Serve alongside roast chicken, salmon, or sausages, or enjoy them on their own.
