How to prepare lentils-

• Lentils: Choose your preferred type of lentils – green, brown, red, or black.
• Water or Broth: For cooking the lentils, use water or vegetable broth to enhance flavor.
• Salt: Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Instructions:

1. Rinse the Lentils: Start by rinsing the lentils under cold running water to remove any debris or impurities.
2. Choose the Right Pot: Select a saucepan or a pot that is large enough to accommodate the lentils and has a tight-fitting lid.
3. Combine Lentils and Liquid: Place the rinsed lentils in the pot and add water or vegetable broth. The ratio is typically 3 cups of liquid to 1 cup of lentils. Adjust based on the type of lentils and your preferred consistency.
4. Season with Salt: Add a pinch of salt to the pot to enhance the flavor of the lentils.
5. Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
6. Reduce Heat and Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the lentils simmer. Different types of lentils have varying cooking times, so refer to the package instructions for guidance.
7. Check for Doneness: Periodically check the lentils for doneness. They should be tender but not mushy. Green and brown lentils typically take around 20-30 minutes, while red lentils cook faster, in about 15-20 minutes.
8. Drain Excess Liquid (if needed): If there is excess liquid in the pot after the lentils are cooked, you can drain it or leave it depending on your recipe.
9. Serve or Store: Once the lentils are cooked to perfection, they are ready to be served as a side dish, added to salads, or incorporated into various recipes. You can also store them in the refrigerator for later use.
