The images show a progression over a period of approximately a week showing the growth of dupuy lentils on a flatbed scanner. Because of the age of the scanner (very old) bands of light appeared on the scans. They add a peculiar inconsistent quality.

The Lentil/Poblano Enchiladas I made were kind of amazing. (Recipe from American's Test Kitchen's The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook)
peas, rice tomato green beans pepers split peas red lentils
turmeric, cayenne, mustard seeds, cumin seeds
I will risk lameness by admitting that I think I like canned chickpeas better than their dried, soaked-overnight counterparts. I only needed a ¼ cup of them for the Turkish lentil soup recipe, but even still, they and the hummus played hell with my digestive system. I didn’t notice any improvement in flavor—the dried, cooked chickpeas tasted just like the canned ones—though their texture was definitely a little firmer than the canned kind. In this recipe, there’s really no need to use the dried, as everything gets all mushy in soup anyway.
This soup had a lot going for it, though. The cooked bulgur wheat gave this a really nice, almost creamy texture, more like a thick, grainy stew than a soup. The addition of coriander and mint gave it a deep, complex, exotic flavor that I really liked. But that complexity was completely burned out after a few bites with the huge amount of cayenne pepper in the recipe. I’m talking a teaspoon and a half for only four cups of soup. That is spicy. I like spicy foods fairly well, but when they’re so spicy that you can’t taste anything else other than spiciness, I’ll pass. Still, this was a really nice recipe for a weeknight dinner that I will gladly make again, only this time with about half as much cayenne.
This is a jar of bean sprouts!
Lentil beans were used
You need:
Wide mouth 1 quart canning jar
Metal ring part of the lid
Plastic canvas, cut a circle to fit inside the ring lid piece
1/2 cup lentils
Put it all together, lentils inside the jar of course!
I rinsed them a couple times, drained well. Then fill the jar almost full and let soak for 12 hours overnight.
Pour that water off, fill and shake, twist, mix the lentils up. Pour that water off. Repeat the process two or three times.
Prop this up at about a 45 degree angle. I use a plastic box and line all my bean jars up at a slant. You could prop it in a bowl, on the dish rack, whatever works. :)
Do the rinse process 2 or 3 times a day. Several days later you'll have this!
I have mine poured loose in a big bowl now so the entire set gets some sun tomorrow so it all turns green. Then I'll bag them and keep them in the fridge as we eat them in the next few days.
These are Lentils. They taste great!
I also have black beans and garbanzos in the sprouting process, I'll have photos of those if they work out! :)

While looking for a lentil recipe last week, I stumbled across directions for sprouting lentils. Sounded fun and easy, and so 4 days later, here's what I have. 1/4 cup dried lentils transformed into 2 cups of sprouty goodness.
