Red lentils : Our Recipe Ideas

All recipes with red lentils

Here you’ll find all the original recipes lovingly created by the site’s foodies, featuring red lentils.

Red lentils are small, orange-colored legumes. They’re highly prized in cooking for their delicate flavor and tender texture.

Rich in fiber and plant-based protein, they are often used in vegetarian or vegan dishes such as curries, soups, salads, and purees. Red lentils cook quickly and do not require soaking beforehand, making them convenient and easy to incorporate into our everyday recipes.

You may have noticed that some recipes list red lentils as an ingredient. So you might be wondering what the difference is between red lentils and coral lentils? Coral lentils are actually red lentils that have been hulled and polished. This process gives them a smoother texture and an orange hue. Their cooking time is also reduced, which is very convenient if you want to prepare quick dishes like soups and purees.
