Lentil Crumble or Refried Lentils? Your Choice!

Lentil Failure Leads to Innovation

I don’t know what it is about making my own patties, but no matter what I try. It never seems to work in my favor. It’s either to wet or to dry. I can never get that Goldilocks mixture. But, hey. Sometimes out of failure comes some pretty delicious options. Like this refried lentil recipe. Or is it Lentil crumble? Your choice! It’s all about what YOU want with this recipe.

You can cook it just long enough to be a refried beans consistency, or you can cook it longer and get a consistency similar to a crumble. The crumble is still going to be somewhat soft, but it works really well.

Fixing Pantry Staples into a Meal

This is such an easy recipe. Everything is shelf stable (unless your red curry paste is open, then it needs to be refrigerated) and it only costs a couple dollars at best (less if you catch things while on sale and stock up), and will bring you about 2-3 meals, depending on what you use it for.

My personal favorite is a nice simple sandwich. Just delicious flavors between two pieces of toast. If your lucky and have some lettuce and a tomato…DAMN! That would be a great sandwich
