Description
Lentils are a powerhouse of protein. Our simple lentil recipe is perfect for whipping up a quick, simple, tasty dinner that’s easy to prepare but still has loads of flavour. We used one chilli for a mildly spicy dish, but you can add more to turn up the heat if you prefer. Serve with basmati rice and a green salad.
