15+ Easy Red Lentil Recipes

 

In order to cook red lentils, they have to be prepared before being cooked. The whole seeds need to be washed and rinsed several times until the water is clear. This process should be repeated two or three times in a large bowl of water. After that, remove any stones or dirt from the seeds by rubbing them between your hands. Finally, they have to be dried in a clean towel and then transferred into a pot on low heat for around 20 minutes (this will depend on the size of your lentil)

They're also a good source for calcium and iron while offering other health benefits such as improving digestion, boosting vitamin C levels

I am not a fan of red lentil soup. I like my food to make me feel complete, not sleepy. Another reason is that I often find the lentils take over and I don't get any vegetables. However, there are ways to make it more enjoyable for those who like the taste of lentils in soup.

 

Some people like their red lentil soup made with tomatoes or mushrooms and garlic or ginger; this makes their dish a bit more mine-like, so they feel less complete. Some recipes use cream, which can help make the meal more filling without making them sleepier, so you won't have to eat a second serving later in the day!

 

 

The dish was a hit among my family, friends and even eaten by me. There are many ways to make your meal more enjoyable, such as adding meat, cheese or cream for some added flavor. You could also add vegetables to it, such as tomatoes or mushrooms, adding color and variety to the dish.

 

I often use black-eyed peas or white beans when I need to use beans that day. However, red lentils work just fine as they are naturally the same size as black-eyed peas and white beans and can be cooked the same way.
