Lentils are a fantastic and inexpensive protein source that I wish I had been cooking with for longer! They cook very quickly and can be used in so many different ways. There are a number of varieties, but the following lentil recipes mostly use green (or brown) lentils which are typically interchangeable and split red lentils.
From appetizers to soups and pasta recipes to meatless shepherd's pie you are sure to find a lentil recipe here that catches your eye (and your taste buds)!
Keep an eye on this list as I continue to create more delicious lentil recipes and populate this round-up even more!
