Mushroom and Lentil Bake

Reader’s Lentil Recipe

I may have said before that I love getting recipes in from readers. In this case Sue had tried my Lentil Bake recipe . She enjoyed it but wanted to share her own recipe too. I was delighted to receive a recipe that is along the same lines, but with plenty of variation. It’s good to get new ideas!

Lentil Bake WIth A Difference

It is quite different as it is made with green lentils, not red and contains mushrooms and is flavoured with rosemary – so it has quite a different texture and taste altogether! It is very easy to make and of course is low cost and nutritious.

Sue Says:-
I have just been given a link to your website and am very much enjoying exploring it. It was suggested I try your delicious lentil bake, and it really is excellent. I have another lentil bake recipe and I honestly don’t know where it came from but it works pretty well and is cheap and easy.
