Fennel Studded French Lentils

Pair with Hahn GSM or Hahn Pinot Noir

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups lentils
• 2 fennel bulbs, coarsely chopped
• 2 shallots, minced
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 bunch parsley, coarsely chopped
• 1 bunch dill, coarsely chopped
• 8 oz. arugula
• 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 4 oz. butter
• Kosher salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Simmer the lentils in salted water for 25-30 minutes, until barely tender. This can be done ahead of time.

Heat a large sauté pan and add the olive oil. Sauté the fennel and shallot in the oil for about 3 minutes. Add the cooked lentils and the chicken stock, simmering until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add the butter and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Just before serving, fold in the chopped parsley, dill and arugula. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
