This Lentil Salad is a great side dish for Roasted Turkey or Roasted Cornish Hens. The champagne flavor really makes the dish sound so elegant, don’t you agree?

Hey Golda see my response above – and you can make it even up to a day in advance just be sure to bring it room temperature before serving (at room temp) or rewarming gently as per instructions above.
I would like to make this for Friday night but am afraid that I will overcook it if I leave it on a warmer. What would you suggest? Also, how much can I make it ahead of time?
yes two 🙂 1. serve it room temp or 2. put it on the blech on a high tier (upside down pot or pan) to keep it warm but prevent it from overcooking. let me know what you think. enJOY!
happy to help!
I wanted to make this for Friday night, but realized that it might overcook if left on a blech/hot plate before Shabbos. Do you have any suggestions to prevent this?

i know this recipe calls for real champagne but why is there no champagne or sherry vinegar with a hashgacha?
always looking for good lentil recipes. Always looking for good raisin recipes. This one kills two birds, as they say.
