I've always loved the flavor and texture of lentils, but I typically don't think of recipes that use them. That's something I'm going to change since lentils are one of the healthiest legumes out there. They're quick to make compared to their other dried siblings since they are much smaller and are easier to hydrate for a smooth texture. Lentils are low in calories and high in nutrition and have an earthy meaty flavor that is very filling.
