How to Cook Basic Lentils

Dried lentils are cheap, tasty and extremely nutritious. They are packed with protein, iron and folate, and are a great addition to a plant based diet. As they are one of the few legumes that don't need soaking before cooking, we don't recommend buying them canned as we do other beans - they're too easy to cook. Watch Ann cook a batch in this short video and you'll see what we mean. Look and learn!

I fine that lentil is my survival food focus because they carry a lot of nutrients, cook fast and satisfying. I pre-cook, dehydrate and stash them. Come what may I will only need water, warm, hot or solarized. Thanks for your upload.

You can add some pinch or red papper according to your taste. When its ready add some oil with roasted garlic. Wallah ...you will enjoy the taste

im trying to find out why they dont need to be soaked when other dried beans do need to be soaked.

[jftt]

thank you. I'll definitely try this.

I always soak them, it's better for digestion and then you don't have to cook them so long. This is a good tip when you forget to soak them. Instructions in this video lousy needed a lot of comments.

[ARMANDMCGEE]

Is it bring to a boil then simmer for 40 minutes?

[superdave]

Garlic nutrition will be lost if cooked this long.

[judithgerwarth]

Oh no no no no garlic please.I am so done with people putting garlic on anything nowadays. I like garlic on my meats and sauces but please not on the lentils.
