What to do with green lentils?

[NachoFries]

Just that really.

TIA

Douse in a Lemony, peppery dressing while they're still warm, and add in watercress so it wilts a bit.

Serve with goats cheese and roast veg.

This sausage and lentil stew is one of my favourite things to eat www.google.ie/amp/s/www.rte.ie/amp/744086/

[Ricekrispie22]

Are they dry or tinned?

Google BBC Good Food 'Lincolnshire Sausage Simmer'

I use them instead of mince in chilli non carne and bolognaise.

Also lovely is a fillet of salmon served on a bed of green lentils, green beans and a honey/mustard dressing. Copied this from a Prezzo dish back in the day!

I made this with green lentils and it was lovely and warming, perfect for autumn

I agree with a pp. Use them as you would mince.

One thing I like is boil some, meanwhile make a basic ragu. Then fry off some courgettes and any other veg. Once the lentils and the ragu are ready mix it all up in the frying pan. Make four dimples and crack an egg into each one. Continue to fry for a bit then cover with cheese and stick under the grill.

Awesome! A lot of fab ideas.

@Ricekrispie22 They are dry green lentils and have been told to soak overnight but then they start sprouting . I must be doing something wrong.

[PeridotCricket]

They don’t need soaking. Just cook them. Sprouted lentils are lovely though. Pop in a salad.

[Bloomcounty]

This is yummy. I don't pre-soak the green lentils.
