Green lentils with vegetables
4 servings
40 minutes
This is a classic French side dish that goes equally well with fish and meat (especially tuna and sea bass, as well as lamb). The composition of vegetables may vary, but the technology is similar in any case.

In a deep skillet, fry the bacon cubes and vegetables: celery stalk, half an onion, and carrot - all cut into large pieces for easy removal later.

- Sherry vinegar: 50 ml
- Beef broth: 600 ml
