Puy lentils, also known as dark speckled lentils, are small, firm lentils with a rich, earthy flavour and slightly peppery taste. They hold their shape well after cooking, making them perfect for salads, soups, casseroles, and side dishes. Their texture and taste make them a great alternative to green or brown lentils in recipes that need structure and depth.
 
Originally grown in the Le Puy region of France, these lentils are prized for their distinctive speckled appearance and superior flavour. The region’s volcanic soil contributes to their unique taste and nutritional quality, earning them a reputation as one of the finest lentils available.
 
Cooking Instructions
Rinse the lentils thoroughly and place them in a saucepan with three parts water to one part lentils. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about 20 to 25 minutes until tender but still firm.
