Cider-Braised Lentils with Leeks and Chives

Lentils du Puy, also called French green lentils, are the type to use in this hearty side dish. They hold their shape and retain a firm yet tender texture even under the intensity of pressure cooking. We cook them in apple cider, with a fresh Granny Smith thrown in for brightness and acidity; leeks and chives balance the dish with savory onion notes. These lentils are a terrific accompaniment to grilled or roasted salmon, pork or sausages.

Ingredients
  • 4

    tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter

  • 3

    medium-large leeks, white and light green parts thinly sliced, rinsed and dried

Directions
  1. 01
    On a 6-quart Instant Pot, select More/High Sauté. Add the butter and melt. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, apple, 2 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the lentils, cider and 2 cups water; stir to combine, then distribute in an even layer.
