French (Puy) Lentils With Beets, (Vegan, Vegetarian) image

I got this recipe from the back of a McKenzie's lentil packet which I bought just for the recipe. It's very simple to make, filling, healthy and cheap. I reckon you could sub the puy lentils for whole brown ones. It has coriander in it but I didn't use it when I made it because I didn't have any. Feta is nice of this but if you are making it vegan leave it out but you might want to add more salt. Also add in a bay leaf when boiling the lentils

This recipe is not vegan. It calls for chicken broth.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lentils were still undercooked. I had to add more liquid and cook them for longer.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lentils are so creamy and flavorful, and the beets add a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and they worked perfectly in this dish. The lentils and beets are a great combination.

These lentils were a hit with my family! The earthy flavor of the lentils paired perfectly with the sweetness of the beets. I added a bit of extra garlic and fresh thyme, which really enhanced the flavor.
