Being the busy (and lazy) person that I am, I always am on the lookout for quick meals I can make at home if I have no leftovers in the fridge and no fresh ingredients. I came upon the brand Lentiful on the grocery website Feed, and decided to try it because I am a huge fan of soups and stews, and I feel lentils are adjacent to that.
I chose the French Mirepoix flavor- as I mentioned I love stews and this seemed very similar to a French-style stew. This one is chock-full of veggies such as carrots, celery, and leeks. My favorite way to eat vegetables is when they are softened in a stew (let's just say I am not a salad lover), so I knew this would be up my alley. And I ended up really liking this item!
The lentils were super easy to cook. Just add water and microwave them. Everything cooked well and was steaming hot when I started eating. I enjoyed the flavor quite a bit, though I personally would remove the fennel altogether, and lessen the amount of lemon. For the amount of time it takes to make this meal, you cannot find something quicker and more healthy than this.
Even at around $5 a serving, I still think that is a fair price for the quality and results I got. I want to try the Homestyle Chili and Mexican Green Chile next, though I am also curious how the Thai Coconut flavor would taste.
