Ancho Lentils image

I made this up the other day when I had no idea what to make for dinner. I served it under poached eggs. My kids mentioned it would work wonderfully as a taco filling. There's probably several other uses, too! The ancho gives it a bit of heat without being overpowering.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some cooked lentils in the fridge and I just added them to the sauce. It was a quick and easy meal.

The lentils were a bit bland for my taste, but I added some extra spices and they were much better.

I had trouble finding ancho chili powder, so I used a different type of chili powder. The lentils were still good, but I think they would have been better with the ancho chili powder.
