Looking for some goon Lentil Recipes

Candylou11 · March 2015

It was suggested to start cooking more with Lentils as a way to help increase fiber, but I don't usually cook a lot with lentils.

Looking for some easy recipes that hopefully my picker hubby and son will like.

Thanks

Pasta with Chard & Lentils
http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotbeans/r/bl21c6.htm
If you don't like slowcookers (and I don't) you can replace the 6-7 hours on low in a crockpot with about 40 minutes simmer on the stove.

Pasta with Sausage, (Kale) & Lentils

I've not tried this specific recipe, but have made similar things in the past with chard instead of kale. There are also a number of soups that start with the combination of sausage, lentils and greens

Red Lentil Soup with Lemon
http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016062-red-lentil-soup-with-lemon
This red lentil soup is sometimes called Esau's Pottage or Shorbet Ads. You can add 1/2 cup broken spaghetti or mini shells and some extra water near the end of cooking for another traditional presentation.

Also many Indian Dal recipes are based around lentils and there are a number of lentil and grain salads

Hope this gets you started.

Mujadra. Many spellings and recipes, but a basic recipe is 1 cup lentils, 1 cup bulgur or rice (I prefer bulgur) and a couple of pounds of onions. Cook the lentils until not quite soft. While doing that, carmelize the onions. Add the lentils and uncooked bulgur to the onions, along with about a half cup of water. Simmer until the bulgur is cooked. Garnish with plain yogurt. It's a great and simple dish..

I have made and adapted this many ways it is a great recipe! It is also forgiving if you want to add or subtract from it

Cook 1/2 C lentils till almost done ,maybe 10-15 minutes,drain. Add to soup or to any recipe that sounds good. Lentils don't have a lot of taste so easy to combine with other ingreds.
