Hi djsapg

Your idea of a tabbouleh sounds great!

In addition, here are some recipes from the BBC Good Food website, for recipes using 'green lentils' - but similarly, if you fancy tabbouleh, then maybe put that in their search window, and see what comes up:

Please type in google any one of these words....

mung beans/moong beans/green gram and you will find a whole bunch of delicious recipes. Vegetarian

Green lentils come in a variety - whole moong/split moong/ split black moon/ split green moong/ yellow moong is the easiest

****Please remember to soak them all overnite and wash again the next day. For that matter all lentils including rice for a few hours.

You also will find crepes made out of green lentils

some website i use - am not sure i can post recommendations of website that are good.

As i was also in a dilemma trying to find our good websites for recipes. I purchase my stuff to test and try from whole foods bulk barn or where they sell in loose unpackaged form in small quantities then if not good i throw away the recipe.

If you send me a pm then i can send you the websites

All the best

I love lentils. This is an easy way to cook them. Rinse one cup lentils and add to 4 cups water. Simmer for 20 minutes and drain. While they are simmering sauté in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. finely chopped onions(about 1/2 of a large onion) 3-4 stalks chopped celery, throw in some chopped carrots. Add 2 tablespoons of dried thyme (or more to taste)and a cup of water and simmer for 30-45 minutes or so. I add about 1/4 cup of dry vermouth in the last 15 minutes or so. Delicious!

Mujadara is a traditional Mediterranean dish made with green lentils.

The one I had was pretty much just lentils, onions, rice, butter, salt and pepper.

I can't find a similar recipe but it might be worth googling Mujadara if you're looking for Mediterranean.
