a simple, original recipe and above all really inexpensive: Breaded whiting fillets Dijonnaise style on a bed of Puy lentils

Ingredients for 6 servings

12 whiting fillets of about 100 g each
500 g cooked Puy lentils*
100 g small smoked bacon lardons sautéed (or smoked duck breast)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons strong white mustard
30 g flour
100 g breadcrumbs
50 g half-salt butter
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
a little sliced garlic (in season)
salt and freshly ground pepper

Step-by-step directions

1 In a bowl break your 2 eggs, add your tablespoon of olive oil and your 2 tablespoons of mustard, pepper (no salt) then mix everything for 10 seconds and set aside.

2 Lay out your whiting fillets in front of you, salt and pepper.

3 Then prepare 3 plates: 1 with the flour, 1 with the beaten eggs and finally 1 other with the breadcrumbs.

4 First coat your fillets in flour then dip them in your beaten eggs (English style) and finally in the breadcrumbs.
Arrange them on a small tray and into the freezer for 15 minutes.

5 Meanwhile in a saucepan heat your lentils by adding your sliced garlic and sauté your small lardons again keeping them warm.

6 After 15 minutes in the freezer, melt your butter and your tablespoon of olive oil in a pan (non-stick if possible), when everything is foamy, gently place your breaded whiting fillets,
cook them for 6 minutes on each side without rushing.
