Over the years, I’ve gotten considerably more fond of lentils. They are so much more than just soup. I love lentil salads. And that’s almost what this is (and can be!). It makes a great backdrop for a piece of grilled salmon, cod or Branzino. And that’s what we’re doing with it today. 
I haven’t cooked a veal breast in years. The last one I made was stuffed and it was good, but…. Well, let’s put it this way, it didn’t make my taste buds do cartwheels. This one, which is based on Jacques Pépin’s recipe, does!

Brussels Sprout and Fennel Chowder. Hmmmm. Intriguing, no? There’s cabbage soup, so why not Brussels sprouts, in liquid form. Well, folks, it works and it works well.
