Brown lentils 1kg

About the product
Brown lentils are smaller and rounder than green lentils. It is popular in Asian cuisine, and is a good addition to curries, stews and soups. Brown lentils retain a firmer shape unless they are cooked for too long.

Cooking brown lentils
Before cooking, rinse the lentils of all residues. No need to soak, just gently cook in water for 30 minutes (15 minutes in a pressure cooker). Cooking time may vary if lentils are added to a liquid dish without first cooking. In this case, you may need to let your sauce or soup simmer for much longer until the lentils are ready. Taste every 10 minutes to monitor the consistency.

Cooking lentils until mushy is a good way to thicken soups and sauces. It's actually a matter of taste how long you cook them.

Lentils can be added to many dishes and go well with chicken or fish or in a thick vegetable curry. Alternatively, lentils can be mixed with other beans in a mixed salad and seasoned with lemon juice, garlic and herbs.
