    TRY THIS RECIPE AND DO NOT BE DAUNTED BY 'DUCK FAT' IN RECIPE. IF THERE IS A SPECIALTY STORE ,TRY THE MEAT DEPARTMENT FOR THIS ITEM. IF YOU STILL WANT TO BACK OFF FROM THIS ONE,TRY CHEF JACQUES PEPIN'S RECIPE FROM HIS BOOK OF MEMORIES. STILL, GIVE ALEX A TRY, IT'S GREAT!

    What a wonderful thing to put under chicken or duck! I made this entire dinner for my daughter and guests and it was eaten up immediately. I did have to use shallots rather than cipolini onions because I couldn't find them in my area but they still turned out soooo sweet and delicious. I didn't salt the lentils until the very end, which was fantastic and the duck fat....anything in duck fat is perfect. A hiking boot in duck fat would be good! This is a quick and delicious dish.

    i liked this dish so much that i made the lentils again soon after the first batch, but used a little bacon fat (not the 1/4c of the duck fat the recipe calls for with just regular onions, and i've been eating it as a side dish with pretty much everything!

    I made the duck with green peppercorns and then turned my attention to the lentils, having no experience cooking either a duck or lentils. I could not get over the aroma of the lentils, bay leaves and garlic as they simmered in the pan. Once combined with the cippollini onions sauteed in duck fat, I (and my neighbor were floored by the end results! This was a terrific dinner. The only other side dish I could envision might be wild rice, but that might be overkill. The lentils were so flavorful. Thanks Alex!
