That looks good! Do you add any other spices?
Not too often, as the soup is already tasty as is -- the cumin helps a good bit. One thing I have done, outside the recipe, is eaten it over basmati rice! Makes it go a while, and it's sometimes easier to make fresh rice to pour the soup over than to just reheat it.
Ooooh nice thanks 😊
They work really well in pasta sauce. Adds some extra texture and protein.
Without a recipe on hand I can vouch for lentil Wellington. Search your favorite sources and enjoy
Oh, I'll give that a go!
I'd never even heard of that. Had a Google it's intriguing thanks 😊
Moroccan red lentil stew. Delicious.
Never heard of that thanks
There's a hundred curries.

Ooooh nice one thanks
You can make falafel with lentils and they turn out real well in my experience
A packet of dried French onion soup mix with lightly mashed lentils and shredded carrots makes a really nice veggie patty for sandwiches
I'm a big fan of using lentils and cumin or other curry spices in risotto. This also makes for the best arancini I've ever made
