Our lentil Bolognese — yes, you read that right — is delicious and filling, with nary a drop of animal protein. With a traditional base of onion, carrot, celery, tomato, garlic and white wine, compelling flavors abound in this dish. And instead of beef or pork, French lentils give it heft and “meatiness.”
This dish is highly nutritious, with plenty of vitamins and minerals, beneficial plant chemicals, fiber and protein.
