Lentils

[skrogman]

I got a bag of lentils in some stuff I got from a local church.  I have never had them before. Does andyone have any good recipes using them?

lentils are good if you dont have any recipes just wing it and put whatever you want in the soup.

You can slow cook them for soup, they're very healthy.  Just add onion, celery, and carrot, about 8 cups of water in the slow cooker and any spices you would like.  Very easy!

I start off by soaking the lentils in water (just like you soak beans before cooking-about an hour) After the lentils have soaked and expanded,  fry bacon, diced onions, diced carrots and minced garlic in a deep pan or pot. Once they are browed,  crumble the bacon, add the lentils and chicken broth - about 1 or 2,  8 oz. cans, depending on how much you are making.  You can also add water if liquid gets too low before lentils are done.  Cover and cook until lentils are soft. Serve over rice with hot sauce (if you like hot sauce) and buttered cornbread on the side.  Even my kids love lentils cooked this way.

they are great , you can find a recipe on the computer, i have a huge book of them all kinds of free recipes, i have tried a lot of them. and so far most are great. had a few dudes but trail and error the slow cooker is really the way to go too. just put them on forget about them until they are done.
