A bumper collection of vegetarian lentil recipes, including pasta, burgers, curries, and lots more!
If you read my previous post about how to cook lentils, you’re hopefully excited to get going on cooking up some amazing vegetarian lentil recipes! So here’s plenty of inspiration for you.
Lentils are one of my favourite ingredients to use in my cooking – they’re full of fibre, protein and iron, and they’re an easy, cheap and delicious way to make hearty, comforting meals.
(how many more complimentary descriptors can I fit in one sentence? Meh, the lentils deserve it)
I’ve organised these recipes depending on what type of lentil they use – red lentils, green or brown lentils, or tinned lentils. With some of the recipes, you may be able to substitute for a different kind of lentil, but if you have any questions, please do just ask in the comments section on the relevant blog post!
