Lentils, Greek-Taste; Christmas · Thyme for Cooking

I really like lentils. Mon mari – now not such a lot. If I upload some feta and olives, alternatively, he’s satisfied.

The good section is that they don’t want soaking or cooking within the Rapid Pot – which means that I will prepare dinner small amounts on every occasion I would like them. They’re completed in simply half-hour, are filled with all of the excellent stuff we will have to consume they usually’re scrumptious.

I typically get the Lentils du Puy, which can be a gloomy inexperienced colour. I even have greater, tan lentils which have been extra not unusual within the U.S., pink or coral lentils which can be utilized in numerous Indian cooking (dal), and tiny, black Beluga lentils.

The Puy and tan lentils I exploit for aspect dishes or soup. I upload coral lentils at the side of the opposite lentils as they have a tendency to collapse, thickening the soup. The Beluga I simply use for amusing – samosas, little pastry tarts, garnishes.
