French-Style Green Lentil

$ 6.25
Title

Free shipping on orders $50+

Small, dense green lentils hold their shape for salads and more. 

Hearty green lentils famous as a side dish, in stews, soups, and even salads. West Coast-grown for our own unique terroir. These lentils are very similar to lentilles du Puy, which must be grown in France. We think our West Coast terroir adds to the flavor. 

Cooking Suggestions

Salads, soups, stews

From the Rancho Gordo Kitchen

Famous as a side dish, and in stews, soups, and salads. They thrive in warm dishes like soups and stews, but we love them in a very french salad with grated carrots and a strong Dijon vinaigrette.

Cooking Instructions

Check lentils for debris, and rinse thoroughly. Place in a pot and add enough water to cover by about 2 inches. If you like, add aromatics like a bay leaf or garlic clove. Bring to a full boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer, using a lid to help regulate the heat, and gently cook until done, 25 to 35 minutes. Salt to taste. Remove aromatics, and serve

"Every day it seems like there's a new startup claiming high-protein cricket flour will heal the world, that we're supposedly on the verge of a golden age of lab-grown meat. When I hear about stuff like that lately, I can't help but think: when we've got lentils this good, why go through the trouble?"

Exceptional flavor!

These little nuggets of flavor are so good. I made them to go with some seared salmon, and we liked them even better than the fish! They're versatile, hold their shape, and blend well with many different flavors. I'm glad I laid in a supply early on. We'll be eating them regularly.

Lovely Lentil

I made a simple lentil soup using the green lentils and I'm impressed with the rich flavor of the French Style Green Lentils. The difference between store-bought lentils and these green lentils is freshness that equates to flavor and cooking time.

made my soup even better

I have a recipe for sausage and lentil soup. I've made it for a long time but this time I used the French Green Lentils and boy did it make a difference. They held up better than other lentils I've used and the flavor was amazing. These will be something I order frequently!

Almost spicy!

These are earthy lentils, almost spicy. I think they are just delicious. Can't wait to try them in more recipes.

The Rancho Gordo Story

You Can Blame it All on the Dutch

I was shopping one August for tomatoes and, despite Napa being one of the world's most magnificent agricultural regions, all the tomatoes were from a hothouse in Holland! Worse, they were hard and pale pink instead of the ripe tomatoes I was craving. I started to grow my own tomatoes and this eventually led to beans.

My first harvested heirloom bean was Rio Zape. They were pretty and easy to grow but I had no idea what to expect when I cooked them. They were similar to the pintos I liked but there was so much more going on. Hints of chocolate and coffee mixed with an earthy texture made my head spin. I was blown away by Rio Zape and the other heirloom beans I was growing, but also really confused why they were such a big secret. I took the beans to the farmers market, organizing things on my kitchen table. Soon there was a warehouse, followed by more markets and mail order. It seems we had struck a nerve. People agreed that heirloom beans were worth saving, growing and cooking. Currently our warehouse, a retail shop, and offices are in Napa, California, and a stop here is part of many tours of the wine country. 

All of my agricultural pursuits have been based on being someone who likes to cook but gets frustrated by the lack of ingredients, especially those that are native to the Americas. One of the things that originally drew me to beans was the fact that they are indigenous to the Americas. It seems to me these indigenous ingredients should be familiar, if not common. American cuisine is re-inventing itself and I'd love to include ingredients, traditions and recipes from north and south of the border as part of the equation. I love the concept of The Americas. I feel as if it's just as important as the European heritage many of us share.
