Stuffed Shells with a Crunch

A crunchy blend of "autumn" lentils and local goat cheese built shells full of protein, texture and deliciousness.  The recipe was inspired by Canadian Lentils.  I was so happy to get a hard copy of the magazine at FNCE, as digital versions of books and newsletters sometimes go unopened.
