Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Oh there are some good recipes using lentils in our recipe files. The lentil loaves are wonderful. Have you checked the files?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi Loresa, I just looked under main dishes #2 and saw a couple good lentil recipes there. I better try those myself. I'm stuck on the lentil loaf, it's so versatile.......Donna Loresa <persephone1021 wrote:I have these lentils staring at me.but i do not know what to do with them.

Any > suggestions? > > thanks > > loresa Definitely check out the files section for all kinds of lentil recipes: My favorite is the Lentil Loaf. I've made it a few times, each time changing it up a bit, which makes it a lot of fun to make. Also, since lentils are so easy to cook; no presoak and only 20-30 min. to cook; you can whip them up and add as a side dish. Add spices such as chili powder, cumin powder, curry powder, celery salt. Saute some onions first then add the water/stock and lentils. Just a few ideas.....have fun experimenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I went to the Indian store near me over the weekend and got a fresh batch of red lentils, yellow masoor dal and some fresh spices, all of which I ran out of awhile ago. The Indian store has all these sooooo much cheaper than the ordinary stores do. What type of lentils are you using? I admit I use the yellow ones not as much...But the red ones are great for pulses. I will post in a separate msg the recipe given to me by my best friend, who is originally from Madras, for her sambhar. That is my favorite thing to make with red lentils.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 What kind of lentils?? There are many recipes in the files...I'm always a fan of something spicey and indian for lentils & there are yummy lentil loaf and soup recipes. We make lentil burgers regularly, which are yummy...pretty much take your favorite loaf recipe and shape burgers out of them instead of putting in a loaf pan (you may need to make the recipe a little more on the dry side) - I don't have my burger recipe handy but will post it if you like. Also, and again no recipe handy, them make a great salad!! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
