Just the other day I was wondering on what to do with that can of lentils I have standing in the refrigerator. I thought of posting a question but never got around to it. Now I don't need to! :) Wow!

They'll be so soft! Lentils are quick and easy from dried state, so do try another time from scratch. If properly done, these will be too hot for your baby, but he could grow into it. Lentil soup, lentils in soups or stews, lentils as a side vegetable dish, endless possibilities. Missus, good on you. Oh Annika! They’ll be so soft!

Those are much cheaper too! I have never thought that I like lentils, but I'm determined to find a way to make them good because they are both cheap and healthy. This recipe sounds promising! hm okay, I guess I’ll wait then until I get to the store to buy dry lentils. Those are much cheaper too!

Start with a soffrito of onion, carrot and celery cut fine, sauteed in some oil, then the lentils and water simmered until almost done, salted at the end. You can sometimes use some ham or bacon as well, but it really isn't necessary for most dishes. The lentils of Castelleuci (sp) are as tiny as mustard seeds and are entirely different again from the various Indian, Italian and French ones. Daals are also very nice. With your extraordinary command of English, the internet has hundreds of lentil possibilities. Annika, maybe you think you don’t like them because you have only tried them boiled in a can?
