a lil' love for red lentils (24 vegan red lentil recipes)
Last week's Ethiopian Lentil Stew reminded me how much I love red lentils, one of many foods I had never heard of (let alone tried!) prior to going plant-based.
My first introduction to red lentils was Indian red lentil dal. Then I discovered misr wat (an Ethiopian dish) and it remains one of my most favorite foods.
I also make the simple or Turkish red lentil soup in the app most weeks during the colder months for a simple soup.
PRESSURE COOKING: I've found that most red lentil dal or soup recipes can be made in my electric pressure cooker (4 minutes, quick release) but your PC may need up to 8 minutes. On the stove, red lentils take 15-20 minutes, so they're still pretty quick that way!
If I've inspired you to dust off the bag of red lentils in your pantry this weekend, I've created a list of all of the MM recipes in the app that use red lentils for you below.
The best part about these red lentil recipes in that the majority of them use only pantry staples `Please let me know if you make any and what your first red lentil dish was!
