    Published: Jul 19, 2016 · by Nicole · Updated: Aug 2, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Red Curry Lentils & Cauliflower

    Who knew a tiny lens-shaped legume could be so versatile? From soups to appetizers, veggie burgers and hearty shepherd's pie, lentils bring a powerful protein punch to your plate. Although there are different types, we'll concern ourselves with the red variety today—they take less time to cook and have a sweeter, nuttier flavor than the others. Let's take a look at some of the best red lentil recipes we've found this week!
