Nutritional Benefits
Large lentils are a naturally excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making them a satisfying centerpiece for vegetarian and vegan meals. They also provide iron, folate, and potassium, and are naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol.
Because they cook quickly and hold flavor well, lentils are one of the most versatile pantry staples for wholesome, budget-friendly cooking.
How to Cook
Rinse lentils under cool water and pick out any debris. Large lentils do not require pre-soaking, though a short soak can shorten cooking time. Add to a pot with about three cups of water or broth per cup of lentils, bring to a boil, then simmer for 25–30 minutes until tender.
Salt toward the end of cooking to keep the lentils from toughening, and stir occasionally for a creamier texture.
