Super filling and versatile.

Mujaddara? Classic lebenese or hillbilly? Hmmmm....interesting how multiple cultures can have similar recipes; or how recipes migrate from what you'd think were disparate cultures?

Note that the lebenese version is topped with caramelized onions--to me, the best part.

Has anyone made a lentil veggie burger recipe they liked and care to share?

I make a red lentil soup with diced tomatoes, onion sauteed in olive oil, ground coriander, black pepper and a little salt. Use broth for more flavor (chicken or vegetarian).

It's funny I just cleaned out the fridge and made soup with just stuff I had on hand and came up with the BEST soup ever. I used lentil soup (Amy's), dried onions, carrots, trader joe's turkey meatballs and a can of chicken broth. I seasoned with a good bit of fresh garlic chopped up and a bit of Worcestershire sauce. I added a little sea salt and pepper. I just let it simmer covered until the carrots were done. It was freaking awesome. I just finished the last of it.

I use Amy's Lentil soup to make stuffing for baked stuffed peppers too. Last time I used goat cheese, arugula, various veggies I had in the fridge and a can of that soup. I worked out great and the peppers were super tasty.

For those who don't like to use canned foods, lentil soup is one of those things that is almost as easy to make in an enormous batch as a small one, and it freezes really well. DH and I call it wonton soup, because we start with one ton of lentils.
