no super great recipies, because I don't make it very often, but yes, I DO enjoy a good lentil soup!.!. Very much so
I do have a "recipie" for another fun lentil dish!. I call it "lentil tostatas" The vegetarian boarding school I went to served it!.!. it's tasty!
basically you:
1!. toast bread
2!. put sour cream (or vegan sour cream) on the hot toasted bread (like you're "buttering" it) place open face on a plate
3!. Put hot, cooked lentils on top (well cooked, not TOO dry, but not too soupy either!.!. lightly seasoned if you wanted, definitely appropriately salted
4!. Top with shredded lettuce, very finely diced tomatoes, shredded cheese (or vegan cheese) and pour a bit of your fav salad dressing
May sound funny, but really, it's quite yummy when you get all those flavors combined!!
Man, now I want some LOL!.!. GRRR @ lentils taking so long to cook! (as a single person who works 8 hours, I have to eat "fast" things LOL)Www@FoodAQ@Com

You cannot find a more complete protein, a great blood sugar reducer and a complete meal additive, I am a former chef and now a lacto-ovo vegetarian due to a medical condition, I use a number, red, green, blue poule, small green greek lenithi and even split Indian dals so many I cannot list!.
I make soups, currys, cook them and make patties, burgers, meatloaf like items, even can be used as a sweet item, made like rice pudding either with milk or non dairy items, try them in a salad with other veg like the 3 bean salad you had as a youngster!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
