Lentils Green – Organic
Green Lentils are the most intensely flavoured lentil and are naturally low in fat, high in protein and a source of fibre. Crazy Jack Organic Green Lentils are easy to prepare, they do not need soaking and unlike other lentils they keep their shape when cooked. Lentils are an ideal protein rich vegetarian dish. They are also great served with meat, fish or game.

Recipes

GREEN LENTIL CURRY

  • 2 tbsp groundnut oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 200g button mushrooms (halved if large)
  • 150g Crazy Jack Green Lentils, washed and drained
  • 1 tbsp medium curry powder
  • 500g spinach leaves washed
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and brown the onion slightly. Add the garlic and the mushrooms, and fry gently for about 5 minutes.
  • 2. Stir in the lentils, coating evenly, and add the curry powder. Stir to soak up the juices and add water to cover the lentils.
  • 3. Simmer gently with a lid on for 35-40 minutes until all the lentils are soft, stirring occasionally. Check halfway through cooking time, and add more water if necessary.
  • 4. When cooked toss in the spinach leaves, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve on a bed of Crazy Jack Basmati Rice.
