Lentil Recipes

Lentils are a versatile, affordable, and protein-rich ingredient perfect for plant-based and flexitarian cooking. From red to green, brown to black, they work beautifully in a wide variety of dishes. Whether you’re after a hearty stew, vibrant salad, comforting soup, or a veggie-packed curry, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.<

Discover our collection of vegetarian and vegan lentil recipes below, ideal for quick midweek dinners, batch cooking, or nutritious family meals. They are a staple for any flexitarian pantry./p>

Why Are Lentils Good For You

Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them ideal for vegetarians, vegans as well as anyone following a flexitarian diet. They're rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Lentils are also packed with essential nutrients like folate, iron, potassium, and magnesium—important for heart health, energy production, and immune support. Low in fat and high in antioxidants, they’re a great choice for a balanced diet. Plus, they’re affordable, filling, and easy to cook.

Favourite Lentil Dishes

Lentils can be used to create a wide range of comforting and nutritious dishes. You can simmer them into hearty soups, stir them into fragrant curries or dahls, and bake them into casseroles or shepherd’s pie for a satisfying plant-based meal. They also work beautifully in fresh salads, especially green or Puy lentils that hold their shape, and can be mashed into veggie burgers or shaped into meat-free loaves. Their mild, earthy flavour pairs well with herbs, spices, and seasonal vegetables.

Nutritional Content

High in antioxidants. Good source of protein, fibre, iron, folate, magnesium, zinc and potassium.
