Lunch at Home

Lunch at home, Provence, Spring salad

 

In the town where I live there are a few restaurants, five bakeries, two cafes, a few pizza joints, a major grocery store and a weekly open market.

I cook nearly everyday, but I do not do breakfast, in France breakfast is a coffee, a baguette, yogurt and fruit. The bakery is two minutes away on foot. Anyone can do breakfast.

Lunch and dinner, that is another story. Today for lunch:

Sliced baby leeks sautéed in olive oil…

 Crumbled feta,

Salt to taste, 

Walnut oil to swirl with grace,

 

 

 

 

lemon

 

 

 

Lemon juice to tingle the taste buds.

 

 

lentils

 

 

 

When the baby leeks glistened, everything came together with cooked, but no longer warm, lentils.

Delicious spring with hints of winter not far behind.

    Such a poetic “recipe”! I quite appreciated each detail photo, illustrating the ingredients.
    “Walnut oil to swirl with grace” brought to mind “Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace.”

  2. I need to learn to prepare meals such as this. I am not a creative cook. What creativity you share from the kitchen.

  3. It all sounds and looks delicious except the lentils. Would garbanzos work as a substitute?

    Drooling…because I know the lay of the land

    Your recipe sounds like a haiku!
    And I’m definitely going to try this

  8. That sounds like a nice salad. I tend to do everything raw in salads, but it’s true that vegetables like leeks are also good cooked and cold/tepid. A good reminder to get out of my rut. And I have a bunch of leeks….

  9. Beautiful it looks delicious
    Happy Easter my sweet friend
    Love Jeanne
