Lentils with minced meat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This dish can also be prepared with green lentils. Unlike red lentils, they hold their shape better, but take longer to cook. Green lentils need to be soaked for several hours beforehand, just like peas, and require a bit more cooking time. In terms of nutritional properties, they are equally beneficial! After all, green lentils are simply underripe seeds. I'll tell you—serve hot.
