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, Petite Golden, Black Beluga, Brown 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.

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.
