Cook 2 cups lentil to 3 cups water, can better than bouillon and spices, easy peasy. I eat this almost everyday. I love lentils. Usually with green bc it's easier.
Also a few cups broth, tomato paste, a can of coconut milk, Goya package of red lentil, curry and spices. Yum!
Try experimenting instead of following a recipe so you will be able to be creative and everyday tweak it a little bit differently. Then it's always appealing to the plate imo.
