Hi Richa,
Lentil burger with walnuts is the one I loved most and lentils are favourite pulses, I’m also going to try peanut sauce lentils and see how they turn out.

Thanks a lot! As a guy who made my “vegan debut” two months ago, I really need to get some inspiration to what to eat every day.
That burger looks much burger than what I ever had! 😀

Lentils are one of my favorite pulses in the world! I’m going to try your peanut sauce lentils and see how they turn out. I cannot wait to get started!

These look great! My son and his girlfriend are vegan, and I am always looking for recipes to cook when they come over for dinner. Being a Texas gal, I like to “change” some of my traditional meat dishes to suit their culinary preferences. I see several of these that fit the bill! Thank you! 🙂
Richa
thats awesome!

These recipes truly look amazing. My mouth is watering! I must try that lentil mushroom wellington – yum. It looks so good. And the lentil burger with walnuts – that will be the second one I try. I’ve been adding more lentils into my family’s meals lately but none of my recipes look as good as these! Thank you for sharing such a good variety of lentil recipes.

I love lentils so much!
