Lentil recipes needed (NOT soup/ no meat)

It's a vegan lentil loaf, it is sooo good! We are actually having for dinner this week

Just made this last night. I add 1t garam masala. Can serve over cauliflower rice.
Lentil Dal: http://www.food.com/recipe/lentil-dal-456

I cook up some lentils and mix it with rice, veggies, soy aminos and nutritional yeast. Sometimes I just cook up a bowl of red lentils and stir in some curry and ginger. Soo good!

I usually just cook mine in chicken or vegetable broth.
That said, know that to get 25g protein from lentils takes 1.38 cups which is 448calories vs. 3oz lean beef at 180 calories.

Lentils and Wild Greens
(adapted from Verdura by Viana La Place)

14+ leaves of radish, mustard, or other tender bitter green, stems trimmed, and
leaves stripped from ribs
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 celery rib, diced
1 small carrot, diced
1 t. finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 t. finely chopped fresh oregano
2 T. finely chopped Italian parsley
2 T. chopped basil leaves
2 C. green lentils, washed and picked over
3 small tomatoes, roasted, peeled, and diced
3 T. lemon juice

Cook the greens in a tiny amount of water (just what clings to the leaves after
washing is enough). Add salt to taste and drain. Chop coarsely and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Cooked,
covered, over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Add the herbs and lentils
and stir. Let the lentils absorb the flavors for a few minutes, then add 4 C of water,
plus salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer, with the pan’s lid partially
cracked, until the lentils are just tender, (about 30 minutes). About 10 minutes
before the lentils are cooked, add the tomatoes.

Just before serving, stir the greens and the lemon juice into the lentil and tomato
mixture.

Recipe from Living Web Farms

Dahl is such a quick easy dinner to make! I fry up an onion (red works well with red lentils), add a load of garlic, chuck the lentils in, add some veggie stock, Indian spices and half a tin of tomatoes (or enough so the lentils aren't swimming in liquid!) And leave to simmer. Always use the leftovers for lunches through the week!

Also lentils are great for replacing mince with in chilli. Chuck a load of veggies and lentils together and make a normal chilli sauce and bob's your uncle!

Another fave of mine is tinned green lentils with Chipotle paste stirred through and an onion and a pepper/capsicum added. Stir for a while until heated through and enjoy! Another easy mid-week dinner or lazy lunch!

I'm hungry now.

These two are my favorites:

This is my go to. It tastes SO good. serve with a naan. Also, it says serves 2 - that is a lie, serves about 4.

You can make lentil chips or crackers. Just google for recipes.

Kusherie (egyptian rice & Lentils)
http://www.food.com/recipe/kusherie-egyptian-rice-and-lentils-134402

For a snack just toast cooked lentils in a dry pan on low/med heat, (I happily use tinned after draining off liquid), until they go crispy and add whatever flavourings you like - think crisp flavourings such as salt 'n' vinegar, black pepper or a bit of chilli.

I made these today with chilli flakes and poured over a salad I had made - easy way to add flavour, texture and protein.

Salt and peppr to taste.
Additional flavoring ... sprinkle on some Za'atar spice blend.

That sounds lovely, I'll have to try it

Any veggie burger or veggie meat that uses black beans could easily use lentils. All of the beans in these recipes could easily be lentil specific.

Lentil Salad is SO much better than it should be:

Mix:
Brown lentils, cooked al dente
Chopped carrot
Chopped sweet onion
Chopped fresh jalapeno leave the seeds in.

Dress with mixed:
Olive oil
Lemon Juice (bottled is fine)
Brown Mustard
Salt
Pepper, lots of pepper.


That's all. Really. It is like magic when it comes together. Have fed this to kids, old people, men, carnivores, everyone loves it so much, even the dogs like it, even my cat did. I don't measure anything. It's nice served with a good bread and sharp sharp cheddar cheese.

The non-vegetarian version is much the same but parsley and bacon I think? I have never tried it like that.
