Don't know about the top one - have never tried to freeze lentils myself.
I think perhaps if the lentils are meant to be more solid in the recipe they may go a bit mushy on freezing/defrosting ? Perhaps don't add the lentils until you want to eat it ?
Just a thought and not necessarily the best option!Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.

Am new to this cooking lark so excuse my ignorance!
I cooked Delia's chicken hot pot tonight, but have lots of left over stock and chicken, so have blended it all together to make a soup. Can you freeze it at all - or is it best to leave in the fridge and reheat when needed? Don't want to poison myself...0 -
Get a plastic tub and put any leftovers in it in the freezer, just keep adding anything and everything until you use it.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,

I've got my shoppping beening delivered tomorrow so i'm just in the middle of sorting my fridge out. I'm proud to say that since meal planning i'm hardly throwing anything away......I'm ashamed to say we did throw alot of food away each week
Theres just 3 questions I have
1) I have 2 onions left, can I chopped them and freeze them? do I need to do anything to them before I freeze them.
2) Carrots - i've a bag of carrots that look like they need eating soon, can I freeze these, again i'll chop them but do I just freeze them or do I need to do something else first.
3) Muffins - I made some blueberry muffins yesterday. I made way too many and I dont want to throw them away. Are these ok to freeze?
Sorry for all the questions but this is all new to me........but i'm enjoying every bit.I'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!JUST LOVES THE O/S BOARD0 -
yes can freeze all of the above
alternatively turn the onions and carrots into a soup0 -
Hi winniiepooh,
Yes you can just chop and freeze the onions and carrots. If I do carrots without blanching though I try to use them up within a few weeks. They seem to last better in the freezer if they're blanched. Are the onions on the turn? If not I'd leave them as they'll last for ages in a cool dark place.
These threads may help:
Freezing onions
Freezing carrots
Muffins freeze really well and if you give them a quick blast in the microwave once they're defrosted they'll be lovely.
