Hi all! I'm stuck in a lentil rut with curry, lentil bake and chilli on repeat. Anyone got other ideas?

Seconding rainbow plant life. This lentil curry is one of my favorite homemade meals I make period: https://rainbowplantlife.com/wprm_print/5540

You can make falafel with lentils and they turn out real well in my experience

A packet of dried French onion soup mix with lightly mashed lentils and shredded carrots makes a really nice veggie patty for sandwiches

I'm a big fan of using lentils and cumin or other curry spices in risotto. This also makes for the best arancini I've ever made

That looks good! Do you add any other spices?

[–] chirospasm@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not too often, as the soup is already tasty as is -- the cumin helps a good bit. One thing I have done, outside the recipe, is eaten it over basmati rice! Makes it go a while, and it's sometimes easier to make fresh rice to pour the soup over than to just reheat it.

Ooooh nice thanks 😊

They work really well in pasta sauce. Adds some extra texture and protein.

There's a hundred curries.

Without a recipe on hand I can vouch for lentil Wellington. Search your favorite sources and enjoy

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, I'll give that a go!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 days ago

I'd never even heard of that. Had a Google it's intriguing thanks 😊
