Beans and Grains

Beans and Grains for Healthy Living

Green Lentils du Puy are a wonderful accompaniment to duck and other game bird entrees. They can be served hot as a side dish or cold with a vinaigrette as a salad. Christmas Limas Beans when cooked with sausage, green peppers and onions make a wonderful covered casserole for holiday or anytime meals. Ivory white lentils are very delicate and can be served as a side dish or as a salad. Polenta is my personal favorite, served creamy with lots of butter and parmesan cheese or molded, cooled, sliced and fried in olive oil as a savory side dish garnished with fresh herbs.
