Lentils
I have just had my first experience of cooking with red lentils. Normally I use 500g of lean mince to make my Bolognaise and there is enough left over to freeze for another meal.

Can anyone clarify for me as to whether it IS safe to reheat rice that has been in the fridge overnight? I have googled and found conflicting arguments, but if any of the regulars have done it on here and have lived to tell the tale, then that's OK with me :D
