Use
Lentils are easy to cook. Unlike many other legumes, they don’t require any prior soaking and can be cooked in less than 20 minutes.
It’s best to give them a rinse before cooking, to eliminate impurities.
They can then be placed in a pot, covered with water and a pinch of salt, brought to a boil and left to simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes.
Once boiled, drain and rinse in cold water to prevent further cooking.
