What? I love lentils! Are you kidding? If you think they are tasteless at the end of the day, just eat them for lunch!
They blow.
I'm sure that if you didn't eat something for days, lentils would be heaven. Try them with a good german sausage and some beer; it's good...
try Cambell's lentil soup- add a bit less water so it's thicker and it's very tasty.
Its you mate
I love them! You have to season them so they taste good. Some green/red pepper, onions or scallions, black pepper, at least 1 crushed garlic and some season salt or plain salt.
Then cook it very slowly until all those flavors come together.
Do this and it will taste delicious for you! : )
Not if you cook them with broth and seasonings.
I've never made a bland batch in my life.
Just like anything, it's all about what you add to them. Herbs/spices, condiments/sauces, etc. They are pretty good if you learn how to cook better.
Jazz them up with salt, pepper and make them with chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. I add carrot and celery, onion and garlic and some brown rice. My lentils are really great tasting and oh so healthy.
They require lots of spice. I make a cold lentil salad with cumin (a lot) and lime juice that is quite tasty.
Indian cuisine has some very flavorful lentil dishes.
For that matter, most beans/legumes require heavy spice
yep my mum makes a nice stew,but spoils it by putting those in,shes done that for years,but ive never said anything. i hope my secrets safe with you.
NO silly you have to infuse them or cook them in some type of flavored broth!
I agree. My mother eats them alot and when I am with her we have to eat them. There are far tastier ways of getting the side effects!
It's you!!!
Hundreds of vegetarians and some meat eaters can't be wrong. Personally I love them.
