Lentil recipes?
What are your favorite meals / recipes using lentils? I honestly love lentils but only have two recipes for them and need to start incorporating them more! Such a cheap, easy, filling, and healthy protein...I want to use it more often!

Re: Lentil recipes?
I love this recipe, but I haven't made it for quite some time because my kids aren't fond of lentils.

Re: Lentil recipes?
I make lentil taco filling a lot (you can find a billion recipes online), with green lentils. I also use red lentils for sauces.

Here's my recipe for Veggie and Lentil Soup - http://www.oursmallhours.com/veggie-lentil-soup/ I don't have a recipe for it, but I second lentils as a taco filling. Yum!

Re: Lentil recipes?
I have a couple different lentil curry recipes, they're in the kitchen and I'm lazy. If you google for lentil curry you'll find a wide variety.
I also often replace ground beef with lentils in recipes that are basically using the ground beef to add "bulk". Oh, and persian lentil stew http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/...ntil-soup.html I don't bother to pre-soak the lentils.

Re: Lentil recipes?
Trader Joe's introduced me to the yummiest dip using lentils! It is seriously so amazing. All it is, is a package of their steamed lentils, a container of their fresh bruschetta, and a container of feta cheese. Not sure if you have a Trader Joe's near you, but if not you could substitute things. I eat it as my lunch with crackers all the time.

Re: Lentil recipes?
From Amy Dacyczyn's Tightwad Gazette:
3/4 c. lentils 1/2 c. brown rice 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp thyme 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp garlic powder 3 c. water We add about a tsp of salt but we like things salty. You could do less. put in crock pot on high for about 4 hours. Easiest dinner ever! Those who eat dairy in my family love it with cheese. Back when I could eat stuff, my very favorite way to eat this was with cheese, in a taco shell, wrapped in a giant burrito shell- yum!!
