Lentils With Carrots

Did you know that lentils can reduce ‘bad cholesterol’ and therefore the risk of cardiovascular disease? Iron in lentils and source of B vitamins also provide lots of benefits. I love lentils all the time because they’re cheap, easy to cook and easily match with other foods. This recipe is a great combination of lentils, onions, and carrots which can be served hot or at room temperature, as a main dish or a side.
