Tips for eating lentils
-
When you buy lentils, it doesn't hurt to save some extra lentils for the next meal to use in a salad. You can fry lentils that have already been cooked with potatoes. First fry the potatoes and add the boiled lentils to let them fry for two minutes. Lentils can be easily cooked with brown rice. This rice takes a little longer than lentils to cook. You first put the rice in the pan and five minutes later the lentils, so that they are cooked at the same time. In this way you provide the basis of the meal with some extra protein. You can then fry this base in a pan with an onion and garlic in it. To make it nice and sharp, you can supplement this with fresh hot pepper. It is also nice to add some turmeric. You can also make a vegetable mix and a salad.
