Puy lentils are always a handy staple to bulk out any meal. They keep their shape and are the perfect base for so many dishes – like this provençal-style lentil filling. The salty anchovies and capers, tasty tapenade and fresh chives make this an excellent side dish too.

Tips:

  • Experiment with different types of squash and/or lentils to achieve a slightly different flavour or texture. You can even top with different herbs.
  • Be brave and try using different Autumn vegetables with this dish – like sweet potatoes or marrow.

If you liked this recipe, try this pickled pear, lentil and walnut salad.
