In anticipation of a local and sustainable Guiteau Monday post on Monday, an actual local meal I threw together as we decamped the Dirty. It was basically a Southern riff on Tony Maws's lentiles de puy. It was hot, so something less stewlike seemed the call. I cooked some field peas from Winslett's in Easley, browned some cubes of Benton's country ham in a skillet, tossed in some (scallions?) radishes, and carrots from the organic farm at my day job. Tossed that all up w/ the field peas, and made a vinagirette using some of the pan drippings from the ham, served over lettuce from the CSA. Was good when made, and even better a day or two later. Here is a bad picture:
Do I see someone biting a finger in the lentilles?

Lentils must be in the air, because I made a giant batch of them on Tuesday after getting a strong craving for them.
(Lentils, pancetta, mirepoix, red peppers, garlic, thyme, Dijon mustard, hint of sage & rosemary.)
Always better the next day.
