Hi Richa,
Lentil burger with walnuts is the one I loved most and lentils are favourite pulses, I’m also going to try peanut sauce lentils and see how they turn out.
OMGosh everyone of these recipes looks fantastic!!! Thank you!! I was stuck on soup and looking to break out to something more creative.
Thanks!
I’m making it a goal to make a least 5 of these recipes! They look so delicious. I just made the lentil bowl with the cajun sweet potatoes and this is officially going to be my go to recipe. Thanks so much for compiling all these recipes into one easy read!
awesome! sounds like a fab plan!
Thanks a lot! As a guy who made my “vegan debut” two months ago, I really need to get some inspiration to what to eat every day.
That burger looks much burger than what I ever had! 😀
Thanks for your reminder of so many wonderful recipes. I’ll definitely be cooking some old favorites and some new ones soon.
Lentils are one of my favorite pulses in the world! I’m going to try your peanut sauce lentils and see how they turn out. I cannot wait to get started!
These look great! My son and his girlfriend are vegan, and I am always looking for recipes to cook when they come over for dinner. Being a Texas gal, I like to “change” some of my traditional meat dishes to suit their culinary preferences. I see several of these that fit the bill! Thank you! 🙂
thats awesome!
These recipes truly look amazing. My mouth is watering! I must try that lentil mushroom wellington – yum. It looks so good. And the lentil burger with walnuts – that will be the second one I try. I’ve been adding more lentils into my family’s meals lately but none of my recipes look as good as these! Thank you for sharing such a good variety of lentil recipes.
I love lentils so much!
