How To Cook Lentils

Lentils are Quick & Easy to Cook and Prepare
• Lentils to do not require soaking like other pulses.
• Rinse your lentils with fresh water before boiling to remove any dust or debris.
• Cook on a stovetop, using 3 cups of liquid (water, stock, etc) to 1 cup of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will double or triple in size.
• Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender.
• For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes. For split red lentils, cook time is typically only about 5-7 minutes.
• Be sure to season with salt after cooking – if salt is added before, the lentils will become tough.

Thank u.
5 videos before u, people talk about about their lives, how they met lentils, how their first date with lentils were, their first kiss with lentils, introducing lentils to their family, proposing to the lentils, marrying the lentils, now it's time to cook them.

You had a one night stand with the lentils.

Thank you. I just discovered I like these as an alternative to meat. I'm not vegan. Just trying to cut back on red meat. Thanks again!

My way: 3 1/4 cups water to 1 cup lentils. In the rice cooker, push the white rice button. Come back later. Perfect every time.

I just cooked red lentils today for the first time. They melted in the pot when it was left unattended (not what I intended), so the result was lentils that looked like mashed potatoes. Still looks appetizing though, so I'm not all that disappointed.
