Don’t let the name fool you – this is not a healthy dish. It is, however, what I would classify as healthy-ish, as in it does use all fresh and whole ingredients. But alas the bacon however, make it less than truly healthy in my book. The pound of bacon also makes it incredibly delicious and when combined with the meatiness of the lentils, the tang of the cider and the creaminess of the goat cheese make this an undeniable comfort food. I’d serve this with our Diamond Collection Pavilion Chardonnay , a full-bodied match for this Burgundian inspired meal. For music, this goes really well with “American Utopia,” the new album by one of my musical heroes, David Byrne. Ingredients Method
1 lb. Bacon, cut into small pieces
2 C. French Lentils
1 Onion, diced
5 Cloves Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. Thyme
1/8 C. Apple Cider Vinegar
4 C. Chicken Stock
½ C. Goat Cheese crumbles
