I love lentils. I usually cook a kilo (about 2 pounds) at once in the pressure cooker and freeze them that way to fix them later when I thaw them. I had a big batch I made when Daniel, my grandson, was living with me. We did not get to eat them and I am making all of it today. Then I will freeze them again ready to eat. The lentil will be made in 2 pots. I´ll make the greatest part of it my way, vegetarian and with more spices. And Marcia will have a smaller part done her way. I like to add cooked rice to my lentils and then thicken them a little using the mini pimer. How do you make yours?

I only use them in lentil soup. I like your idea. They are delicious and so healthy.

If all the legumes, my favorite by far are lentils.

I only make the normal lentils that my mom taught me to cook. Even the lentils with other colors are very expensive here.

@marguicha Those lentils work just fine for that. My mom taught me how to cook with them too, although I do have some orange lentils and black lentils.

I usually make mine as soup in the crockpot. Adding rice sounds good.

I love my pressure cooker for the first stage as it only takes 10 minutes.

Marcia is my maid. She comes once a week to help me but I cook a great part of the meal. She is a nice girl.

I really enjoy lentils. Sometimes I made a small batch with garlic and spices and then add either some vegetables or chicken or some other kind of meat,

I only ever have lentils when we visit our son in Ireland. His wife is vegetarian and he is mostly but they eat a lot of lentil meals.
