Ina Garten Warm French Lentils Recipe
Warm French Lentils is a rustic, slow-cooked dish made with green lentils (preferably French du Puy lentils), aromatics like onion and garlic, and a Dijon mustard vinaigrette that lifts the earthy flavor. Ina Garten's version includes leeks, carrots, celery, and fresh thyme, which simmer together until tender. The result is a dish that feels like it came from a cozy French bistro.
