#177 castelluccio lentils with tomatoes and gorgonzola

from Plenty

i couldn’t wait to start making some tomato recipes now that the season is starting to happen in minnesota. my mom always says midwest tomatoes are the best; i doubt italy has much on us in that department. i made use of the first market tomatoes i purchased this year with this is a hearty dish made of lentils flavored with pickled onion, crushed garlic, dill, parsley, bits of funky gorgonzola. the tomato was dried in the oven for what felt like forever with some balsalmic vinegar. this creates delicious juices that are poured on top of the finished dish. even j, the tomato hater, liked this dish (though he did force all the leftover tomatoes on me).
