Lentil bolognese
This is so like the meat version, many people don’t even realise it is a vegetarian dish, and is easily made from pantry 'staples'.
Salmon and spinach soup
This is so quick to make and it looks and tastes delicious. It’s the perfect restorative soup for a cool night.

The yoghurt marinade gives a nice tanginess to the chicken and the crumbs are spicy but not overwhelming.
Italian meatball soup
This is comfort food at its best. It’s really simple to put together and is a great one-pot meal for a busy evening.
Braised French lentils with feta and lemon
These little green gems are harder than other lentils and hold their shape when cooked. Their flavour is subtle, nutty and delicate.
Lentil and yoghurt dip
This dip is packed with the goodness from lentils and chickpeas and is given a zingy edge from the lemon.
Brown lentil and pumpkin cakes
Full of fibre, vitamin A and low-GI, these cakes are delicious as a base to meat or grilled vegetable meals.
Basic dhal
If you don't have fenugreek, don't worry - you can leave it out without affecting the flavour. A little fresh ginger is nice in this dhal, too.
Red lentil soup
This is the simplest of soups, is very flavoursome, high in fibre, and really nourishing to eat. Because it’s a high-protein meal, it will fill you up.
