Hello!
I love lentils, and make lentil soup/stew quite regularly. I'm wondering what else I should do with them. Preferably easy - I'm not really into making lentil loaf or lentil burgers. Maybe some advice on which spices to flavor them with?
Thanks!

I buy the Trader Joe's steamed lentils and enjoy them with eggs and avocado for breakfast. They are also good with ground turkey for lunch with a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper!0

I used some leftover lentils in place of black beans in some taco filling that I made. For very few calories it raised the nutritional value and stretched the filling.0

chop a red onion, cook in some oil (I use 1tsp coconut oil), then once softened add a chopped red chilli, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika and a drained tin of lentils. Add approx. 200ml water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins or so and you have chilli lentils - perfect side dish! I have it with salmon and a dollop of natural yogurt with coriander and lime, delicious!0

You can basically swap out meat for lentils in anything - from stuffed peppers to tacos to chili to shepherds pie.0
