| Puy Lentil Sauce - Paul Gregory, chef |
| This delicious lentil sauce is by Chef Paul Gregory in Yorkshire and is published in our recipe book “Demonstrator Delights”. Paul finds it easy and time-saving to make this in the Thermomix because it cooks the lentils perfectly while stirring constantly, saving a considerable amount of chef time at the stove! Delicious served with fish or as a vegetarian dish with steamed brown rice. Serves 8 as a sauce or 2 as a main course.
