Red Split Lentils

These bags of lentils are so handy. These tiny red lentils are extremely delicate and cook down in a way that they add structure and thickness to the soup. I like to mix them with other lentils to get a variety of textures.

Some kind of lentils is among my #pantryessentials. Red softens easily, which makes it a fun stew thickener when it falls apart, inconspicuously adding protein to a meal. Most recently, I made a Cozy Coconut Carnival Squash, Sweet Potato, and Red Lentil Stew with greens and spicy homegrown chiles. Yum! #veganisnotscary

I usually use these lentils. Favorite way of cooking them is with garlic, cumin seeds, turmeric, hot pepper and lemon

If I don't have time or forgot to soak beans or garbanzo beans, red split lentils are my source of protein! Ready in just 8-10 minutes!

These red lentils mixed with marinara sauce create a ‘meaty’ filling for lasagna. Very flavorful lentils. Recipe by @noracooks - great crowd pleaser. #veganin2020 #veganlasagna #traderjoes
