My favorite go-to slow cooker meal is a chili recipe that incorporates green lentils. Stupidly easily, comes out great every single time. But I want to make other recipes, both for the sake of saving time and getting some variety in my life, and I thought I'd start with the simplest thing I could find. I've been using the recipes from lentils.org that are basically just lentils, spices, water, and boil / simmer until tender. But every time, every time, regardless of what spices I use, I just end up with a bowl of flavorless, chalky garbage that I end up throwing out. I'm not using old lentils, I am adding salt in the instances where the recipe doesn't already include any at all (made that mistake before). Example of the recipes I'm trying to make. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Or is this what you would expect from those recipes? submitted by /u/CatDadMilhouse [link] [comments]
