Lentils are one of my favorite vegetable. They come in many colors: red, yellow, brown, green and black.
Colors of lentils
You can cook them in various ways:
- boil them, with vegetables or alone for a delicious lentils soup.
- reduce the soup to a cream
- or, my favorite, prepare a lentils curry. First brown some onion with cumin and curry, then add lentils and water. Boil until the lentils are soft optionally adding tomatoes and finally spinach. You can serve with chapati bread.
Either way, a delicious, fasting friendly dish with a lot of proteins.
