Breton tuna and bean gratin : page 150
Why is this dish described as Breton? Who knows. But it is a wonderful no fuss substitute for macaroni cheese. I mean, tinned tuna in a sauce of pureed tinned beans onion and garlic (and a little cream and milk).
What's not to like?

I bought black lentils to see what they were like. They are smaller than regular brown lentils but don't hold shape quite as well as puy lentils.
The recipe assumes you are familiar with cooking quinoa, doesn't mention the need to rinse well beforehand. The end result looks really pretty and is quite filling.

Never mind the duck, the point of the recipe is the freekeh, which would go equally well with lamb or chicken.
The dried figs turned out to be nicer than expected.
BTW, I cook freekeh in my microwave rice cooker, timing it as for brown rice. Quicker than boiling it.

Substituted 1/4 cup dark muscovado sugar for the molasses. The result was OK, but just a bit sweet for our taste.
