Low calorie comfort food This was so delicious! I had never eaten lentils before and these were so flavorful and filling. Mixed with the toasted bread this tasted more like warm and delicious comfort food than healthy Pros: easy to make and simple ingredients
Deeeeeelicious Very tasty! My baby loved it too!
Easy cheap delicious and vegan! A vegan-friendly recipe that is comforting and easy to make and also a great way to use up stale bread.I have made this recipe many times now experimenting a little with the ingredients and here is what I have found: It is best with lacinto (dinosaur) kale but purple kale is also good. The couple of times I made it with curly kale it ended up watery and was not as good. Leave out the stems unless you plan to cook them much longer before adding the chopped kale leaves. I personally like a little more rosemary in mine around 2 1/2 tsp and I add only 3 1/2 cups of water. French lentils are definitely worth it but regular green lentils were also very good. Brown lentils get too mushy. Pros: simple to make great for novice cooks freezes well budget-friendly
Very satisfying & tasty meal While this isn't a OMG kind of dish it is very satisfying & filling. Will definitely make this again. I used a crusty multigrain roll cut into slices before toasting. And expect that leftovers will freeze well to make for a quick & nutritious meal. Love this recipe! Pros: Simple & easy to prepare
Simple & tasty This was excellent. I skipped the toasting of the bread and severed the lentils with fresh whole wheat rolls. Pros: Vegetarian
Easy & delicious with ingredients I always have on hand I love this recipe! It is easy to prepare using ingredients I always have on hand (or can sub things I have on hand). I used spinach in place of kale the first time I made it. The red pepper flakes do not make it spicy hot. I eat low-sodium so I omitted the salt and added some nutritional yeast instead. Pros: simple ingredients easy prep delicious freezes well Cons: I would like a little more broth in proportion to the lentils
Tasty Healthy Dish and No Bread Needed It's nothing amazing but overall it's a pretty darn good dish. My grocery store only had a bag labeled lentils so I don't know what kind they were. I reduced the cooking time from 40 minutes to 20 minutes and they came out perfect (still nice and firm) but had to keep the cover off during the last few minutes to evaporate the extra liquid. I cut down on the salt and also added an extra Tbsp of tomato paste after tasting it which I thought gave it more flavor (without making it taste tomatoey). I tried it with the bread and by itself and it's good either way. May or may not be making it again. Pros: Relatively simple healthy tasty vegetarian/vegan Cons: Hard to find French lentils
Simple spicy lentils Wow one of the best things I've ever made! An amazing meal for vegetarians and carnivores too. Pros: Easy yummy vegetarian
