oh my gosh. I love lentils. I put them in my rice cooker then just eat them up!

I can add them to tons of things. as a side with dinner, as a meal to themselves, lots of soup recipes for them. My favorite is just to have lentils all alone. they are so tasty!

If you have a crockpot there are TONS of way to cook lentils and they're relatively simple. Here's a great website/blog with a bunch of different lentil and legume recipes

I'm a huge fan of the lentils over polenta (I'm Italian, I can't help it lol)

This is one of my favorite recipes - a warm lentil and goats cheese salad. I usually add some chopped beets (beetroot) on the top as well and you don't need to use all the oil in the dressing...

If you dont mind venturing into Indian cuisine, but "Dahl" is an AMAZING soup!

They're so healthy, I add them to almost anything for fiber. You can add a smaller amount if you really don't like them and you won't taste them!

great recipes for Red Lentil Soup are on allrecipes and food network. They are really easy, super healthy and filling!
All call for veg broth, garlic, onion, cumin, lemon juice, tomato or carrot, and I add i potato for some heft and tumaric for some indian spice. Then I use an immersion blender and make it creamy. Yum yum!

Dahl! so good. Eat it with some cauliflower or eggplant if you don't do chipati or other breads.

In Turkey they make lentil soup like this:

sautee 1 medium onion in about a teaspoon of olive oil until soft and just starting to brown. Add 2 cups of washed red lentils, about a third a cup of white rice, about 5 (?) cups of water, and chicken stock cubes. Here, the cubes are really big, and I still use 2, normal sized ones, maybe 4? boil it for about 30 minutes on low heat then blend it using an immersion blender. It's one of the 4 most common soups here. I'm not sure the exact measurements with water, I add more if it's too thick. Anyway, give it a go
