LENTILS, MULTI-COLORED BLEND

Description:

Chieftain’s Multi-Colored Lentil Blend is a richly colored array of some of our best selling lentils.  The blend provided a mild, earthy flavor and soft texture making it perfect for soups, stews, spreads and baked dishes.  Multi-Colored Lentil Blend contains French Green, Petite Crimson, Golden, Black Beluga, Spanish Pardina and Ivory White Lentils.  If cooked for an extended time, the color fades.  Multi-Colored Lentil Blend is delicious as a side dish or main entrée.  Add to bean dishes or soups for an additional flavor boost and thickener.

Suggested Use:
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.
