PREPARATION OF LENTIL AND VEGGIE CASSEROLE

  • Assemble Casserole: Grease a small baking dish lightly and fill it with the mixture of lentils spread over it, then top with shredded cheese, adding yet another layer of creamy flavour.
  • Bake: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or other vegetables if desired.

TIPS

  • Dice the vegetables to ensure uniform portions for even cooking.
  • The red or green lentils will deliver other textures and flavours to the casserole.
  • This step enables you to add a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or sour cream to make baking with lentils a creamy feel.

VARIATIONS

  • For variation, replace lentils with chickpeas or black beans.
  • Suggested Additions More vegetables Add some more nutrients: bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach.
  • For extra crunch, top with breadcrumbs; for a dairy-free alternative, top with vegan cheese.
