Quick cooking and versatile, Lentils are an obvious choice for winter soups, salads, curries, pilafs, stuffing and stir-fry. Mix with breadcrumbs and use to stuff peppers or eggplant. Blend with couscous and use as a bed for grilled seafood or poultry. Toss cooked and chilled Lentils and diced roasted vegetables with a little olive oil and season to taste. Use in soups, stews, baked beans, stir-fry, spreads and dips. Season with spicy chile peppers, fresh herbs, garlic or curry, add dried fruits or mint for a zesty flavor.
Recommended Preparation Instructions:
Lentils do not require soaking. Simmer 1 cup lentils with 4 cups water 6-8 minutes for salads, 10 minutes for main dishes and 20 minutes for soups and purees. Skim the water while cooking.
One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.
