Try them with black beans and seasonal vegetables, tossed with extra virgin olive oil, wine vinegar, and a handful of red pepper flakes. Or enjoy them in a side dish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and black pepper.
For a hearty winter meal, prepare an Italian lentil soup recipe with a vegetable broth from onions, carrots, and celery. Simply chop, cover, and simmer the ingredients before adding salt and pepper to taste. Lentils are also traditionally served with cotechino sausage on New Year's Eve to bring good luck.
