✱ A little taste of France
Recipe of the day
Hachis Parmentier
Lentils du Puy simmered with a classic mirepoix of onion, carrot, and celery, thyme, bay leaf, and a touch of tomato concentrate until rich and deeply savoury, then topped with a generous layer of buttery mashed potato and a blanket of Gruyère, gratiné until golden. This vegetarian hachis parmentier is the sort of dish that makes you want to eat straight from the pan, ideally with a good glass of red.
