Recipe Tips
You can substitute white wine for red wine if preferred.
You can use 3 ounces of dried green or du Puy lentils for this recipe. Just rinse them well, put them into a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and use in Step 2.
