Lentil recipes

Not quite a bean, not quite a pea… What exactly are lentils? They’re the edible seeds from plants in the legume family, and are fantastic little fork-fillers – not to mention a great budget-friendly ingredient. Used as a foundation in recipes from South Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, African and European cooking, they’re so versatile in soups, stews, curries and salads. Not sure where to start? Try them blitzed to thicken up soups and curries with nutritious goodness, or sneak them into spag bol, lasagne, burgers and other family favourites – we won’t tell.

Make it meat-free

A quick dish with all the flavours of an ooey-gooey cheeseburger, this vegetarian version from food writer and cookbook author Amy Sheppard is sure to become a firm family favourite. It’s a great way to use up salad-y bits from the fridge while getting in protein and fibre from the lentils.
