Big-Batch Marinated Lentils

This versatile recipe for big-batch marinated lentils is an essential addition to any vegan meal prep routine. Using French green or beluga lentils ensures the pulse keeps its shape and satisfying texture, providing a nutty base that absorbs the zesty sherry vinegar and smoked paprika dressing beautifully. It is a simple yet sophisticated way to add plant-based protein to your weekly menus without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ideal for busy households, these lentils can be prepared well in advance and kept in the fridge to be enjoyed throughout the week. Serve them as a substantial side dish for a Sunday roast, toss them through a fresh kale salad, or spoon them over roasted sweet potatoes for a nourishing midweek lunch. This protein-rich staple is as practical as it is delicious.

Ingredients for Big-Batch Marinated Lentils

  • 600ml French green or black beluga lentils, rinsed, picked through

  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 60ml sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoons vegan honey

  • 1/4 teaspoons hot smoked Spanish paprika or Hungarian sweet paprika

Combine lentils and 2 teaspoons salt in a large saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by at least 1”. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until lentils are tender but still have some bite (like al dente pasta), about 20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, honey, paprika, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl or measuring glass.

Pour vinaigrette over hot lentils and toss to coat. Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving to give lentils time to absorb flavours from vinaigrette.

Do ahead: Lentils can be prepared 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
