In my opinion they should be slightly resistant to the bite - a bit less so than al dente pasta - and then soft inside. Other types of lentils more or less break down into a slush. That's not how you want your puy lentils to turn out. Instead you whiz some of it up and then add it back in to bind it all together. Hi Christine,

The lentils weren't mushy, but some lentils still had a little bit of resistance. Was I wrong? HELP! Hey guys,

It was my first time to work with lentils so I really didn’t know the correct texture or consistency, so while it was (sort of) boiling dry I put it unto my vegtables and worked with it.

The lentils weren’t mushy, but some lentils still had a little bit of resistance.
Was I wrong?

HELP!

Nice touch. You've got to heat the balsamic till the volatility boils off and get it nice and sweet. I do something similar with balsamic vinegar as a variation of mint sauce for lamb.

Just heat some balsamic vinegar and sugar till it becomes syrupy. Drizzle over. It cuts the fatiness of the fish and what drips off will taste great in the lentils.

I'm always on the lookout for flavorful ways to prepare lentils. When done right (as these look), they're such a treat. Very nice! I’m always on the lookout for flavorful ways to prepare lentils.
