I love them in a stew or a soup - yum!

Bacon and Lentil soup is delicious Jords. :love:

[Jords]

hmm I want to try

you could have it as a side with curry or just have the lentils with rice itself. it's soo nice (not the runny kind though, that's tasteless). it tastes best after a few days when it's dried up (and looks like the picture I posted above) :love:

[Sophiee]

they're flavourless but they're okay in something so you can't taste them :shrug:.

[Ammi]

..yay in stews and stuff to thicken it...

[JTM45]

Yeah, they're great as a base for a soup or stew and also in curries and dal.
They're a great source of protein Jords, that's why they're so popular as an ingredient in veggie cooking as a replacement protein instead of the meat.

[Livia]

Yay in a dansak... nay in everything else.

I love them but only when other people are cooking with them, I cannot be sacked with soaking them in water for fifteen decades

[Candy Annie Cane]

Salmon on a bed of brown rice with green lentils and wilted spinach is one of my favourite meals. If you put a veg stock cube in the water when cooking the rice and lentils it is :love:

[Natalie.]

Haven't had it

Most lentils actually don't need soaking, just rinsed under water until it runs clear.

Dry beans - Pre Soak
Lentils - No need to pre soak but you can if you want..

True story. :idc:

Maybe I'm thinking of split peas or something

[JTM45]

I'm pretty sure that it's chickpeas that need to be soaked.
They're much larger than lentils (around the size of a de-shelled hazelnut)and they have quite a 'nutty' taste.

That could be the one I'm thinking of
