Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Puy lentils along with all the Puy lentils containing recipes presented on this site, with 13 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Puy lentils recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Puy lentils as a major wild food ingredient.

Puy lentils (also known as French green lentils) are a specific form of Lentil Lens culinaris that are small and slate-green in colour, often with a delicate blue marbling. Puy lentils are known after their region of production, the Le Puy region of France and are generally considered to be the best lentil because of their unique peppery flavour and the fact they hold their shape during cooking. They make an excellent addition to soups and casseroles and go well as an accompaniment to game birds.
