    Lentils, tin of tomatos and then any leftover veggies. Chuck everything in pan and leave to cook until lentils are soft. Add whatever flavour you desire, I usually use thai red curry paste or regular curry powder or Oregeno and Garlic - Italian

    Look up on youtube a recipe called Peserattu. Its like a savory pancake made from lentil batter. I love it!

    What a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for posting this. This could be a healthy alternative to the normal tortilla wraps and fill with chicken, cheese or whatever you would like.

    After reading this forum today I specially made this for dinner tonight. And YES my gosh so good. My daughter (5) helped with all the cooking and ate it too. We left out the cayenne and added a bit of greek yoghurt to serve just to keep the heat down. Highly recommend! Oh and we had it with papadums.

    I just cooked some red lentils for lunch today. It was my second attempt and it was super good. I melted some coconut oil in a pan and then added the lentils, coating them and browning them for about a minute. Then i added beef broth and a splash of barefoot moscato wine and let it simmer till they were all yummy. It was super simple but very very good. My lil sis is only 8 and she even ate them and wanted me to make her some. I ate it with some steamed broccoli. very good.

    I do want to try the curry though. Something a little more complex

    yeah ingredients
    1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil
    1/4 red lentils
    1/2 of beef broth
    splash of wine of choice (mine was sweet, but it was all I had. Tasted pretty good)

    I have read where lentils are a great substitute for ground beef. To that end, I have used them in spaghetti sauce, lasagna, tacos and stuffed peppers. I have tried meatloaf, meatballs, and burgers, but I can't seem to get them to hold together-in spite of mixing them with other ingredients including egg. They always seem to fall apart. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
