Lentil And Cheese Flan

Lentil And Cheese Flan

This red lentil recipe is based on one from the Cranks’ Recipe Book (Panther Books). It is an easy recipe to cook and only requires red lentils, onion, cheese and an egg. Add seasonings to taste and some breadcrumbs give it a slightly more robust texture.

Easy, low cost and tasty this lentil and cheese flan recipe that can be made from store cupboard items. Lentils are a good staple for many low cost recipes, especially if you are on a restricted budget

The bake can be eaten hot or cold in slices. It can make a good alternative to sandwiches for lunch if you have some leftover, or is good as part of a salad or buffet meal as an alternative to quiche.

It has been a regular meal in my house since I first made it. The cheese and lentils go well together, and the onions add some different texture and flavour.

The cost for four people is around £2 depending on the choice and cost of your cheese.

Red Lentils

Red lentils are a fabulous store cupboard item and unlike many pulses, they do not need any soaking. Just bring to the boil in measured water and simmer until soft. Do stir as it come to the boil as the lentils can easily stick to the bottom. Keep an eye on it as it simmers as it does easily boil over.

Lentils are low cost and very versatile and can be used for all sorts of tasty recipes.

You can use a quiche dish or a cake tin to cook the flan. Serve hot with vegetables or cold with green leaves and a pasta, potato or rice salad. This flan goes really well with some Apple Chutney, too
