Anyone got good veggie main meal recipes for red lentils?

Hi all! I'm stuck in a lentil rut with curry, lentil bake and chilli on repeat. Anyone got other ideas?

Lentil soup! A fav of mine. Recipe here.

That looks good! Do you add any other spices?

Not too often, as the soup is already tasty as is -- the cumin helps a good bit. One thing I have done, outside the recipe, is eaten it over basmati rice! Makes it go a while, and it's sometimes easier to make fresh rice to pour the soup over than to just reheat it.

They work really well in pasta sauce. Adds some extra texture and protein.

Without a recipe on hand I can vouch for lentil Wellington. Search your favorite sources and enjoy

You can make falafel with lentils and they turn out real well in my experience

A packet of dried French onion soup mix with lightly mashed lentils and shredded carrots makes a really nice veggie patty for sandwiches

I'm a big fan of using lentils and cumin or other curry spices in risotto. This also makes for the best arancini I've ever made
