What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?
I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.
Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some information
I’ve relatively recently learned about red lentil pasta, and it’s just about sworn me off wheat pasta forever. It’s healthier, it’s extremely filling, and it’s actually tasty. I can’t eat plain pasta, it’s just so bland, I need pepper at the least, or sauce and grated cheese. But with red lentil pasta, I’m content just eating it as it is.
I guess that doesn’t answer your question, but I haven’t actually had any other lentils, so for now I’ll say red is my favorite until given reason to say otherwise.
