Lentils & Beans

Hearty, filling and endlessly versatile, lentils and beans are the base of countless easy meals. Stir red lentils into a curry, simmer green or brown lentils into a stew, or toss chickpeas and butter beans through a salad.

Dried or ready to go: stock up on dried pulses for slow, budget-friendly cooking, or look for ready-to-heat pouches and tinned beans when you’re short on time.

Ideas to try: soups, curries and dals, chilli, salads, hummus, bakes and traybakes.
