Ingredients

Organic black lentils

Tips for use

Rinse the lentils. Place 1 volume of lentils in 3 volumes of unsalted, cold water (to prevent them from hardening) and cook for 20 minutes. Lentils are well-suited to smoky-flavoured dishes, charcuterie and pork (for example, they’re a traditional ingredient in the French dish, petit salé). For a little more originality, try pairing them with smoked salmon. Lentils are also delicious in soup, purées and stews, or even cold in salads. Keep in a cool, dry and dark place.
