Try adding lentil puree to:
- Dips– add protein and fibre to your favourite dip.
- Smoothies– blend in lentil puree… it disappears so fussy eaters wont even know it’s there.
- Burgers or meatballs- combining lentils and beef is a winning combination for building a better burger. According to research funded by Lentils.org and Pulse Canada, substituting one-third of a lean beef patty with cooked lentils results in a blended burger that is more sustainable, nutritious and cost-effective.
- Chili or soups– create a thick and creamy soup or chili with the addition of pureed lentils
- Energy bites or brownies– using lentil puree in your favourite dessert is a great way to add protein and fibre.
- Falafels– instead of using chickpeas, try using lentils when you make falafels.
- Baking– replace half the butter or oil with pureed lentils in baking.
