I cook lentils, then sautee onion garlic and sliced mushrooms, add S/P and preferred seasonings, and mix in brown rice. Hearty and delicious!

Lentils are a great pantry item! Great video!

Lentil and quinoa salad is delicious, and I absolutely love lentil soup for the winter season.

This was interesting, thanks for sharing what you use lentils for. I recently discovered French style black lentils and they're great, very versatile too! Mung beans are also something quite similar to lentils, both in the way you cook them and then what you can use them for, so you should try them as well sometime.
I like making stews with lentils and spaghetti bolognese. I have a 'Hearty Red Lentil Stew' recipe that I make that uses the typical base of diced carrots, celery and onion but you can also use up your broccoli stalks that you've saved in place of celery.
Fry that off until slightly caramelised, add whatever seasonings you like, I usually use paprika and cumin, then add tinned tomatoes and 3 -4 cups of stock and cook until soft, about 30 mins. Add a cup of red lentils and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until lentils are soft. Season and serve over rice or mashed potato, lovely and very filling and hearty as the name suggests! :)

Thankyou for the recipes. I love lentils. I use lentils in a taco salad and also with cornbread and salad.

I’ve been making a recipe from Hillbilly Housewife for Taco Style Lentils and Rice for many years. It is delicious, made from pantry staples, and can be cooked on the stove, crock pot, intantpot, and probably even in a rice cooker.

Excellent ideas! Especially with food prices going up on meat and the availability going down. 👍

[reginastephens]

Great ideas. Never had lentils because I didn’t know how to cook and season them properly.

[dianezielaznicki]

I followed a recipe from a spaghetti box and added cooked lentils with it and it turned out good

Looks good! How do you make Mexican coleslaw ?
