https://www.cookomix.com/recettes/lentilles-thermomix/ Lentils have been cultivated since ancient times for their seeds, which are very rich in protein (no less than 24% for dried lentils). They are often compared to a "vegetable steak". Some nutritionists even claim that they contribute to lowering cholesterol levels. They are certainly part of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet, which is considered one of the most suitable for humans. I recommend using green lentils from Puy for this Thermomix lentil recipe. The latter is grown, sorted, and packaged exclusively in Haute-Loire on an area of 5000 hectares and benefits from its own AOC since 1996. It is also the very first vegetable to benefit from a controlled designation of origin in France. The particular climate of Puy-en-Velay and the geography of the area give the Green Lentil of Puy its gastronomic qualities: quick cooking, non-floury almond, delicate taste. Seeds of the same variety, grown elsewhere in France or in the world, do not offer a product of the same quality. The great chefs are not mistaken, and choose this variety of lentil when they want to add legumes to their menu. Display the recipe as on my Thermomix.
