LENTILS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, celery, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, 1/4 cup water and the sugar and cook until the water has almost evaporated.
• Add the tomatoes and increase the heat to high; cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add the lentils and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the lentils are very soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cook 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper; discard the thyme and stir in half of the parsley.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. One at a time, break each egg into a small bowl, then slide it into the skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are set, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the lentils with a fried egg on top; sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve with pita if using.

LENTILS WITH EGG AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high, then coat with olive oil. Add onion and carrots and cook until softened. Add lentils and season with salt and pepper. Heat through. Divide among plates. Saute garlic. Add greens and cilantro and stir to wilt; season and add to plates. Fry eggs in olive oil. Serve eggs over greens and lentils.

RICE BOWLS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the broccoli in a large microwave-safe dish; add 2 tablespoons water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until browned around the edges, about 4 minutes. Stir in the broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions, edamame, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, snow peas, teriyaki sauce and Sriracha. Continue to cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• Divide the rice and vegetables among bowls. Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set, about 2 minutes. Add a fried egg to each rice bowl; top with more Sriracha.

SPICED LENTILS AND SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin, paprika, oregano, allspice, nutmeg, bell peppers, onion, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and starting to caramelize in spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the capers and garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the lentils and 2 cups water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender and the water has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Push the lentils around the edges of the pan, making a circle in the center about 6 inches in diameter. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook, gently pushing them back and forth with a rubber spatula as they begin to set, until softly scrambled, 6 to 8 minutes. (It's ok if some of the lentils get into the eggs while they are cooking. Everything is going to be combined in the end anyway!)
• Fold the lentils into the eggs along with the tomatoes and olives. Divide among bowls and garnish with basil if using. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

LENTILS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or deep sided skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium high heat. Add shallots, celery, thyme, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to brown, less than 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, 1/4 cup of water, and the sugar and continue to cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir in the tomatoes and increase the heat to high; cook another 3 minutes. Stir in the lentils and another cup of water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium and cook to soften the lentils, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the mustard; cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in half the parsley. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Break each egg, individually, into a small bowl, then slide into the skillet to fry until the whites are set, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide lentils among serving plates, top with a fried egg, then garnish with remaining parsley. Serve with pita bread if desired.
