Whatever ground protein you use lentils can stretch it out. There are different kinds of lentils red, green, brown…I started adding small amounts to my chili or stews to increase the amount of protein available. Now we are happy with a 50/50 blend. I use mostly the regular brown lentils for stretching out beef type meals…sloppy Joe’s, chili, etc..
As you say, it’s the sauce, the seasoning that make the dish. Great post.
