Toss whatever mix of dals you have on hand into your Instant Pot with pearl barley, rice, and lamb to make a comforting haleem, or quickly sauté soaked lentils to make a crunchy topper for your salad or roasted veggies. Below, you’ll find a bunch of our favorite lentil recipes to try with whatever variety you have on hand.
