Simple Lentil Stew Simple Lentil Stew
I made this a lot when I lived in France All it takes is to simmer some basic ingredients. It goes well with bread and wine You can also serve it with brown rice.You can also use panchetta or other cured meat instead of bacon (if it's quite salty, adjust the amount of salt.) I recommend using chopped block bacon instead of sliced... it gives a great texture! The lentils will become tender if stewed well. This stew is very healthy. Recipe by nene4

Tasty Taco Lentils Tasty Taco Lentils
This recipe is modified from one I saw on Allrecipes.com. It turned out too runny to work well burrito style so I served it with tortilla chips and cheese quesadillas. Of course, you could serve it in taco shells with all the fixings, I just didn't have any on hand. I use the split red lentils from Trader Joe's because the cook time is so much faster, but you could use any kind of lentils you want just follow the cooking directions for the type you buy.

Stewed Lentils in a Crockpot Slow Cooker Stewed Lentils in a Crockpot Slow Cooker
I've been experimenting with the slow cooker and trying different traditional dishes to see if, as they say, these types of pots and long-duration cooking make them taste better. I can confirm that cooking at low temperatures preserves the quality of the ingredients better and, by needing less water and salt, it concentrates the flavors much more. This time, I tried cooking on high for 4 hours, and they turned out delicious. The main difference when cooking on high is that it reaches 212°F (100°C) faster, which shortens the cooking time. Otherwise, the result is delicious. Have a great day!
