I like lentils because they are super easy to make. They take about 30 minutes to cook.
There are a variety of different lentils. My favorite are the small french lentils.
You can use any kind you like for this recipe. I am using green lentils, because they are easy to find.
This is a simple dish so you can add different ingredients if you like, or condiments.
Simple lentil dish
2 cups of lentils (any variety)
2 carrots chopped ( chop to desired size)
1 bouillon cube
water
Rinse lentils, add to pot on medium heat, add carrots
fill with water 2 inches above lentils ( what I learned from Jamie Oliver, boil water int he kettle, it cooks faster)
cook 30 minutes slightly covered
check in 15 minutes if more water is needed
when finished add bouillon if no bouillon add sea salt to taste.
Now you have a wonderfully simple lentil dish
you can embellish or not, either way it is a satisfying dish.
Sometimes I will eat it with vegan sour cream on top and tortilla chips;)
Other ways is on a baked potato, with toast as a soup, cold on a lettuce salad, and hot as a side dish the
list is endless!
If you can find vegan creme fraiche yummy!!!!
It keeps for 2 days in refrigerator.
