Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils, bay leaves, thyme, carrot, celery, shallot, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are soft. Cover with water by 1-inch, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender yet still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaves, and thyme. Place the lentil mixture in a large bowl and set aside to cool. Add the tomatoes and chopped herbs and toss the lentils with some of the vinaigrette. Top with bacon and goat cheese and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  2. Serve with crusty bread or fish or chicken.
  3. French Vinaigrette:
  4. 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  5. 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  6. 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  7. 1 teaspoon salt
  8. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  9. 1 cup vegetable oil
  10. Whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper. Then beat in the oil by droplets, whisking constantly. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Use at once or cover and refrigerate, whisking or shaking again before use.
  11. Yield: 1 1/3 cups
