We were dining at Foraged, the local restaurant in Station North, and I was enjoying a mushroom soup.  As I was slurping away, I detected something else in the soup contrasting with the mushrooms.  It was lentils, and I had to smile, because this overlooked little legume is a favorite of mine.  Chef Jerry Pellegrino agrees with me, lentils are such a useful and versatile ingredient.
