Warm French Lentil Salad

Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup good olive oil
  2. 1 leek, white and light green parts, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  3. 2 carrots, scrubbed and 1/2-inch-diced
  4. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  5. 1 cup French green Le Puy lentils
  6. 1 whole onion, peeled and stuck with 6 whole cloves
  7. 1 white turnip, cut in half
  8. 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  9. 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  10. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  11. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  12. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sauté pan, add the leek and carrots, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, place the lentils, 4 cups of water, the onion with the cloves, and the turnip in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are almost tender. Remove and discard the onion and turnip and drain the lentils. Place them in a medium bowl with the leek and carrots, and add the butter.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add to the lentils, stir well, and allow the lentils to cool until just warm, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
  1. The longer the lentils sit, the more salt and pepper you'll want to add.
