PREPARATION

• The serving size per person is calculated between 60 and 80 grams of raw lentils, depending on the accompaniment, as they double their weight when cooked. Lentils are the easiest legume to cook. They do not require previous soaking, although soaking them for two or three hours reduces the cooking time. To cook them, they are covered with cold water to prevent the skin from peeling off. If there is not enough water, warm water is added slowly. Most varieties take about 45 minutes. Organic lentils are also delicious in salads, side dishes, or accompaniments. But they easily accept all kinds of vegetables like pumpkin and leek, carrot and cabbage, or leafy vegetables in general, such as spinach and chard. It is also common to cook them with rice or potatoes.
