Best 3 Green Beans With Lentils Recipes

GREEN BEANS WITH LENTILS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan on a low flame and add the mustard seeds.
• When they begin to sputter, add the chopped french beans, lentils, salt, turmeric powder and water.
• The water should be sufficient to cover the beans, so add some more if necessary.
• Cover the saucepan tightly and cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes or until the beans are well cooked.
• Check to see that the water is sufficient (that is, the mixture isn't dry) every 10 minutes, with stirring, and add more water if necessary.
• After 30 minutes most of the water should have evaporated.
• Switch off burner, remove from flame and serve hot.

LENTILS WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a pot, bring the water to a boil, and stir in the lentils. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes; drain.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute the green bell pepper and onion until tender. Mix in the tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the lentils, reduce heat, and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
