When we prepare our menus for hiking trips, we take special care to have protein at every meal. And for this, red lentils are perfect: light and quick cooking. To accompany them, we looked for a food that is also light and that cooks quickly, but also nourishing, because we are not going to lie to ourselves, after a day of walking we have the slab! The polenta is perfect for that and it changes from semolina!
