Lentils!

Okay, so I heard about how great and healthy lentils are so I bought a bag (dry). The problem is... I don't know what in the world to do with them! I'm hoping someone has some yummy recipes to share. Much of my cooking has either a Mexican or Italian slant to it, if that helps...

Thanks!

try this site (I've done a quick "lentil" search for you):

All those recipes look pretty healthy - and you can always run a recipe analysis to figure out calories etc, and tweak them if needs be.

Lentils are yummy when cooked proper :)

Lentils are easier than most dry beans to cook because they cook more quickly and don't need to be soaked first. 

Here are a couple of my favorite recipes

Lentil Veggie Burgers

Here's a video to help you make another Lentil soup

How to Make Lentil Soup

Yum! Those veggie burgers sound good! And I liked that video- his trick of using a wooden spoon and coffee cup to grind spices. Since it's the weekend (and between terms in school!) I actually have time to try these out. I'm excited!

Thanks!

Do you like Indian food? Dal is made of lentils and spices and tastes good on rice.

YUM! Daal is one of my favourite things to eat - EVER!! I'm always trying variations, so thanks!!

Cool.

It'd be even cooler if I had spelled it correctly....

I have a recipe for a meatless meat loaf using lentils that I just love.  It's so savory that I don't miss the meat at all.

I just wanted to tell that I made your lentil loaf tonight. It was wonderful. Thanks.
