Brown Lentils - Organic

What are Brown Lentils?

Lentils are discus-shaped, edible seeds from the legume family and are a food staple in Asian and North African cuisines. 

Brown lentils hold their shape really well and have a mild, earthy flavour. They are delicious mashed into veggie burgers, or tossed into a salad and also work well in soups.

Cooking Brown Lentils

Rinse thoroughly before cooking. Place the rinsed lentils in a pot, cover with water, bring to the boil and leave to simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes.

The lentils should be slightly crunchy or soft, depending on your preference. Once boiled, drain and rinse in cold water to prevent further cooking.

Cooked lentils are a great addition to wraps and salads and these have so much more flavour than what comes out of a tin or pouch from the supermarket.
