Tips and recipes

They are very popular in Spanish cuisine and are used in dishes such as stewed lentils, lentil salads and meat stews with lentils.

Before cooking lentils, it is advisable to wash and soak them in water for a few hours, preferably overnight. This helps to soften the lentils and will reduce the cooking time.

Once soaked, the lentils can be cooked in fresh water with salt and a bay leaf for about 20-30 minutes over medium-low heat until tender. It is important not to add salt or acidic ingredients such as tomatoes at the beginning of cooking, as they can make the lentils more difficult to cook.

To flavor the lentils, you can add ingredients such as onion, garlic, bell bell pepper, carrot, chorizo or bacon. Add the ingredients halfway through cooking so that they integrate well with the lentils.
