I have discovered a recent love of lentils, but how to prepare them is pretty much beyond me. I steamed them tonight with a vegetable seasoning and cayenne pepper, steamed some zuchinni, mixed them all together and put a bit of butter on it. It is SO delicious. I am searching online too but would love to hear some recipes…
