Lentils are a mom's best friend, filling tummies on a budget! My go-to spices depend on the type of lentils and the dish that I'm cooking. For red lentils, which I use often in soups and pureed creams, I like the aroma of coriander powder and cumin. It gives off a cozy, earthy scent that beckons hunger pangs.Lentils are a lifesaver for budget-friendly, tasty meals! They bulk up dishes without breaking the bank and often result in delicious comfort foods - perfect for chilly nights.
Spices make them oh so good; it's incredible how a pinch of this and a dash of that can create magic. What are some of your favorite spice combinations to toss into lentil dishes? I'd love to hear how you jazz up lentils!
For green lentils holding their shape, I'd add some kickass Italian spices: oregano, basil, and a pinch of chili flakes for some zing! A simple yet scrumptious lentil salad is born.
