The lentils of Englouvi in Lefkada are famous all over Greece, and it wasn’t until I traveled there for season 3 of My Greek Table that I understood why. These small brown lentils cook up into a creamy, porridge-like classic Greek recipe for lentil soup that makes for the ultimate comfort food. But you can achieve a similar result with regular lentils, too, cooked a little bit longer. Extra virgin Greek olive oil is absolutely necessary to achieve that creamy texture, too!
