Instructions
  1. sort and rinse lentils
  2. bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and add salt
  3. add lentils to pan, reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until tender but not mushy (I like mine a little al dente), about 10 – 15 minutes; cook lentils a little longer if you prefer a softer lentil
  4. rinse lentils in a fine-mesh strainer but do not rinse (it rinses the flavor away!)
  5. season accordingly and enjoy (see blog post for recipe tips!)
Recipe Notes
