I ALWAYS have green lentils in (the tiny ones like puy lentils) - I use them for a delicious lentil, cabbage and bacon soup from Delia's complete cookery book. It makes loads, is like a proper meal and freezes really well. Click here. It tastes fine with dried parsley. This is my favourite soup :j

Cook, mix with equal volume of cooked petit pois, gently fry some garlic in olive oil then add lentils and peas, splash with lemon juice before serving. Can't remember where I got this from but it's a wonderful side dish because it can be served cold, warm or hot and tastes great every which way!Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants - Michael Pollan

I have never bought green lentils but have often fancied them - do they taste the same as the red ones?Jane

I think red lentils are sweeter and green ones more lentilly. I like to have a mixture in so that when I make a lentil dish there is a difference in texture/view but the green ones take slightly longer. Crazy Jacks organic ones are the best from Mr T.0

I had a packet of dried chilli peppers in there - bought over 2 years ago I think. It was opened so I guess that the flavour was gone and threw it away.

Lentils is Easy, for lentil curry, chop and fry in a little oil 1 onion and 2 table spoons of curry powder, add the lentils and 1 pint of veg stock, let cook down, remove any foam and disgard, mix until mushy, either serve hot with rice or cold as a dip! yum !Murphys no more pies club... member #211
