Some, like the one I posted above, use French green lentils, which hold their shape really well when cooked. A dal recipe, or a soup recipe that's meant to be puréed, often uses red lentils because they do just the opposite - they really fall apart when cooked. Regular old green lentils are somewhere in the middle and I use them in chunky soups and in vegetarian shepherds pie (my favorite is this one: <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-lentil-and-mushroom-sweet-potato-shepherds-pie-182683)" rel="nofollow">http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-lentil-and-mushroom-sweet-potato-shepherds-pie-182683)</a>. Sometimes you can get away with substituting one type for another, but on the whole I find I'm not very satisfied with the way recipes come out if I do that. So I'd find a recipe you want to try, then buy the type of lentils it calls for. If it doesn't say, it probably just means standard green lentils. Hope that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-lentil-recipe#post-2706512 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 16:01:16 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2706512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/vegan-lentil-burgers" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/vegan-lentil-burgers</a></p> <p>I make something similar but it's not vegan.

I don't have the recipe but it was super simple and filling, like a hearty vegetable soup.

If you use green lentils it stays hearty and bean like. If you use split red lentils they cook down into a creamy texture like grits. Both are good. Sometimes we add a little spicy sausage or dice spinach. Serve over rice to create a complete protein. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-lentil-recipe#post-2706149 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 20:51:06 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2706149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad makes something very close to this recipe using vegetarian sausage. It's delicious! You could just do a tomato based lentil stew over top polenta with no veggie sausage too. </p> <p><a href="http://missfoodie.com.au/sausage-lentil-stew-w-parmesan-polenta/" rel="nofollow">http://missfoodie.com.au/sausage-lentil-stew-w-parmesan-polenta/</a></p> <p>I like sprouted lentils in a salad or a sandwich.
