Weekend Fare: Curried Lentils

I love eating and cooking vegetarian! We probably average 2-3 nights a week of meatless meals. This easy and quick meal (takes under an hour) was popular with the whole family. Lentils are probably my favorite legume and they are quite versatile.

  1. We've served this dish - I've also taken it to pitch-ins where I've been asked for the recipe. Be sure to use brown lentils - red ones go to mush (which is why they are good in dahl).
