PinDescription
Lentils are a powerhouse of protein. Our simple lentil recipe is perfect for those new to cooking lentils or new to cooking in general! This dish is quick & easy to prepare but still has laods of flavour. We used one chilli for a mildly spicy dish, but you can add more chilli to turn up the heat if you prefer. Serve with basmati rice and a green salad.
