I’d add more olive oil. Or if the collards are getting too cooked, maybe an extra shot of water. But olive oil is probably the issue.

Hey Darya, I stumbled upon your website when I was searching for good lentil recipes. My husband and I tried this recipe and thought it was delicious! So simple to make and the flavors were great. I did find that it was a bit dry though. Is that just the nature of the recipe? Or did I possibly cook it too long at the end? I had used lentils that were made 2 days prior. Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

This recipe is excellent! I’ve made it three times. It makes collards tolerable. I use orange zest, juice from the orange, and dill (omitting the parsley). Perfection!

I’ve never tried collard greens before, but I noticed you mentioned them in a recent post, so I decided to search your site for a recipe you’ve used them in. I got some in my farm box recently, and I have no clue what to do with them! Thanks for providing me with a non-traditional recipe to try! I’ll post my thoughts on it after I make it tomorrow

I am definitely going to try this. I love the simplicity of the recipe too. Simple is usually always better.

So the picture above really inspired me and I made something similar with some leftover organic beluga lentils that I had cooked, rinsed, drained and frozen. I roasted some cubed sweet potato, sauteed some curly kale with a little bit of garlic and tossed that with the lentils (which I had reheated by spreading them on a pan and letting them warm up in the oven). It was fabulous and even my very selective, foodie mother loved it. Thanks for the inspiration!

If you have boys eating cold lentils I know you’re doing something right
