From the top, clockwise: Brown lentils, green lentils, red lentils, black lentils

In today’s Seasonal Pantry, which you can read here, I write about lentils, with two recipes, one for Basic Lentil Soup and another for lentil salad. One quality of lentils that I did not mention in the column is that they are a bargain, making them even more attractive in these lean times.

In the column, I promised links to lentil recipes from the Seasonal Pantry archives so here they are:

Lentil Salad with Cucumbers, Feta, Parsley & Pomegranates
