Rustic, comforting and simple. Lentils of any colour form a hearty, nourishing base for soups and salads, and are the backbone to many recipes. Their nutty and earthy flavours mean they’re a good match for vegetables such as beetroot and Brussels sprouts, and meat proteins such as pork, sausages and chicken.
Here, we have easy lentil recipes such as our golden coconut-curried lentils recipe and a recipe for beetroot, feta and brown lentils salad ready in less than 30 minutes. We also have recipes a soup recipe made with red lentils, a dhal and barramundi dish handily made in one pot and perfect for a weeknight dinner.
