Lentil

Red lentils are inexpensive but very nutritious. They are a great source of fiber, protein, iron and much more. They are very easy to prepare. If you are not familiar with or have not yet made these a staple, I encourage you to get started now. You'll be pleased you did!

As you may know from my last recipe, I love inexpensive but very nutritious red lentils. They are so versatile!

I want to show you how to prepare something with mostly similar and simple ingredients as last time but with a very different yet tasty result. It's so yummy - I promise! 😋😋🤩

Also known as "Shorba Adas", this is a cheap, healthy and delicious recipe that's been in my family for years. It's very comforting and goes really well with any type of bread or even great dipped with pita. This recipe serves 6.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, finely chopped
• 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups of split red/yellow lentils
• 8 cups of chicken/vegetable stock
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• Handful of chopped parsley
• Juice of half a lemon

1. Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the chopped onions for 5 minutes.
2. Add the chopped garlic, carrots, celery, turmeric and cumin and continue cooking for two more minutes.
3. Stir in the lentils, add the stock and cook for 35 minutes. Stir several times during cooking, especially towards the end, to prevent lentils from sticking to base of pan. Make sure the heat is not higher than low-medium low.
4. Toss in parsley, stir in lemon juice and l

Donated 2 bucks to the couple there that was giving away free soup and coffee. It was raining and a little chilly so it really hit the spot for me.

I'm sure this shit will collapse in a week or two but yesterday it was honestly pretty nice being there. Felt like a natural continuation of all the mutual aid work that was going on at that street the past week during the protests that got the cops to abandon the East Precinct. There were some tards with a loudspeaker constantly screaming shit though. At one point I heard something to the tune of "if you aren't here to help out, go the fuck home we don't need you here".

Now that I think about it I think the couple handing out soup and coffee was actually set up right outside of the CHAZ's "borders". There was a dope event there set up by Kshama Sawant and Socialist Alternative. Later today if I gather my thoughts and find some good video timestamps I'll probably make a post about it.

idk a lot of negative attention's on Seattle right no

I'm a new chef, just discovered Indian food, blah blah

Here's the recipe I followed: https://avirtualvegan.com/creamy-red-lentil-dahl/

I'm looking for something really creamy and found this recipe.

It's pretty good! The first time I did everything, it tasted a little bland. I added more (dry) seasoning and salt after the fact, and it was better, but still not great. I know now this is bad.

The second time around, I watched some youtube tutorials about how to cook seasonings before you use them, a tactic not used in western dishes, so I was new at it. I basically doubled / tripled all of the seasonings up to about 3tbs per spice and threw them in a dry pan for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat to avoid burning things. Some people cook it in oil, others say that's heresy, so I just did it the dry way. I also added one more onion (2) one more tomato (4) and replaced the water with chicken broth.

I also added 8tbs of butter during the lentil cooking phase once all the spices and vege

Hi, I recently had some health problems with my digestive system and been keeping off red meat and mainly eating chicken and fish as my main protein intake. I’m not going vegan, but I’m really enjoying a Spanish lentil dish I’ve been making and am enjoying the healthy benefits they provide. Basically, if there’s anyone out there who enjoys lentil dishes, with meat or without, I’d be very grateful for any hidden recipes that they would like to part with. All for a healthier life.

Yeah I know...another lentil post. But I made this the other day and really enjoyed it! Red lentils are so easy and quick to cook and taste relatively bland, so they make a great substitute for pasta in mac and cheese. They are also packed full of vitamins, minerals and fiber!

Lentils and cheeze powder I use

Finished product

Recipe for about 2 servings:

.5 Cup red lentils

2 TBSP cheese powder

1 tsp butter

1 tsp heavy cream

Bring red lentils to a boil with 1 cup of water, simmer 5 minutes, remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe can be modified in so many ways. Throw in some bacon or smoked cheese or something, you can't go wrong.

I do not recommend using any other color of lentil. They cook differently, have different textures and have a stronger taste.

Edited to fix link

It's a meme on this sub and fucking hilarious.. But I actually like eating Lentils. If you season it right while boiling it's delicious. I also like how cheap it is and how much protein and good carbs it can provide

I know that you can sub lentils for ground beef in a lot of dishes. I’m trying to incorporate more lentils into our meals and want to get the meatatarian husband on board. I was thinking of adding lentils to ground beef dishes and see if I can convert him this way. I was thinking like tacos, chilli etc. My question is, how would I go about adding lentils? Would I need to cook them first? Can I just add them uncooked in with raw ground beef and cook them together?

So, for the 4th month in a row or my EBT card got maxed out because of the virus, I was only told we were getting it twice but I've been surprised by a third and 4th time. I'm an incredibly picky eater but I am definitely a meat and potatoes kind of person.

I don't eat sandwiches or burgers or beans and lentils and that's pretty much the more popular stuff people usually suggest I get.

I do a lot of grilling and stirfrying and Crock-Pot stuff

They’re a bit tasteless on their own, so I’d normally add them to a salad and hope for the best. Do you all season or prepare your lentils in a specific way? What are your favorite dishes with lentils? Give me ideas, I’ve got too many of them!

I bought red lentils cause I hear good things about lentils in general. But when I do actually try to find a recipe, nothing is appealing. So this is a cry for help. What can I do with it?

Edit: thanks everyone who gave a suggestion. I finally have some inspiration to make it. Hope these recipes become a regular in my diet because it needs to change

With meat price spiking, I think I am trying to eat more bean, lentil and veggie. The problem is that those ingredients are not as tasty when they are not cooked with some meat. It's summer in my country and I am growing some herbs. It will be cheap for me to use herbs right now as a result. Any thought on herbs to add the flavor?

I know garlic, ginger and green onion add good flavor to veggie. Not sure if they do the same for bean and lentil?

So I've been trying to eat healthy and vegetarian lately, and I hear how easy thai curry is. I've tried twice today, testing things, but it turned out very bland. I got some mae ploy green curry paste, brown lentils, and cans of coconut milk. I also have some onions and red bell peppers that I want to add.

I don't know how to cook so I don't know what order I need to do things.

I also am trying to get proportions right for one person.

Here is my current plan:

• Cook one cup of lentils in pressure cooker

• Cut onions and bell peppers

• Fry some thai curry paste in a pan with some veg oil

• Question: Do I add onions and peppers now and fry them in the paste? Or should I be cooking them separately and adding at the end, like the lentils? Or adding them after the coconut milk?

• Add half a can (200g from 400g can) coconut milk and the lentils

• Simmer for 10 minutes

• Then add already cooked vegetables? Or should they already be in there

Am I missing anything, doing things out

It said 3.5 servings. I drained the water from the can and I got 1.25 servings of weight. I’m quite angry and can’t stop thinking about a class action suit like the tuna cans class action. Am I just dangerous enough to get myself into trouble yet? Dangerous like kid in the Harrier Jet contracts case? I certainly don’t feel like it.

Looking for Lebanese / middle eastern food in the general Knoxville area. Really, I’m looking to throw pickled radishes into some lentil soup...

I've been using split red lentils and I always let them simmer in hot water for 15 mins beforehand, but they turn out mushy. I was wondering if they're safe to eat if I let them cook in the soup and reduce the lectins that way. I'm new to cooking with lentils.
