In that chili recipe I would think they would result in a very thick consistency rather than the stewy consistency of a chili.</p> <p>My favorite thing to do with them is cook them in chicken stock with curry powder to taste, and serve with seared salmon and cucumber yogurt. I've also had good luck making red lentil-quinoa burgers - equal parts red lentil and quinoa (1 cup each results in 4 good size patties), an egg, enough panko to give a good texture (a scant half cup), and spices to taste (curry powder is also good here, or a blend of middle eastern spices, in which case i add crumbled feta too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2020167 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:12:06 +0000 shinymama 2020167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was a huge hit at my house, but you have to be OK with a little kick from the chorizo. Also goat cheese. :happy: <a href="http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/soups/chorizo-lentil-stew/" rel="nofollow">http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/soups/chorizo-lentil-stew/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2020161 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:09:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2020161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like this soup with red lentils...<br /> <a href="http://orangette.blogspot.com/2010/09/quiet-soup.html" rel="nofollow">http://orangette.blogspot.com/2010/09/quiet-soup.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2020147 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:04:05 +0000 thismustbetheplace 2020147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came across this delicious looking recipe while trying to find something to do with my butternut squash!

I ended up making it about 3 times in 3 weeks. So good. <a href="http://vegangela.com/2014/01/09/coconut-curry-lentil-soup/" rel="nofollow">http://vegangela.com/2014/01/09/coconut-curry-lentil-soup/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2019984 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 10:56:59 +0000 blackbird 2019984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I just used the ones i had in my cupboard and I have no idea what color they are, LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2019967 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 10:49:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2019967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: oh that looks yummy! It calls for green lentils, I have red - I assume it doesn't matter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2019957 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 10:45:51 +0000 blackbird 2019957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made this: <a href="http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/spicy-black-bean-lentil-chili-cotija-guacamole-chipotle-sweet-potato-fries/" rel="nofollow">http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/spicy-black-bean-lentil-chili-cotija-guacamole-chipotle-sweet-potato-fries/</a> </p> <p>I haven't added the black beans yet, though, because they're soaking. It's good but the marinara flavor is strong right now, so i'm hoping it mellows out once i add the beans (i imagine it has to) and some cheese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-make-with-lentils#post-2019950 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 10:43:26 +0000 Mamaof2 2019950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some red lentils on a whim and they have been sitting in my pantry - what's a good recipe I can use them in? </p>
