I first made these Lime Lentils during the Summer when we were in peak Sugar Snap Pea season.  I loved how easy they were to make.  I loved how economical the dish was (dry lentils are cheap!).  I loved how fresh the dish tasted due to the crunch of the peas.   A few months later it’s still one of our favorite side dishes.

These are perfect to serve with a chicken dinner but you could also get creative. You could throw them in a salad, or even throw them on a hamburger bun for a vegetarian “sloppy joe” style sandwich with a slice of cheese.

    Lentils are great, aren’t they? And you’re right — they’re cheap! My favorite price. 🙂 And punch WAY ABOVE their weight (and price!) when it comes to flavor. This looks terrific — thanks.

    I adore lentils! I really love how versatile they are and, plus, they are so good for you so hubby and I eat them regularly! The lime juice is such a nice addition. Perfect Meatless Monday meal 🙂 Though, I would want to make a big batch of this and eat throughout the week.

    We used to go to this restaurant that would chop up snap peas into small pieces like this and include it in the fried rice. The snap is so addicting and wonderful. This is a very smart recipe and the lime is a great surprise. I love lentils and I know this must be great. Can we add a fried egg on top for fun? ; )
