Organic Beluga Lentils (Belugalinser)

• 3:1 liquid-to-lentil ratio to ensure tender, but not mushy results

• Check for stones or other debris, then pick them out

• Rinse the lentils in a fine-mesh sieve under cold running water

• Combine the rinsed lentils, liquid, and optional aromatics (bay leaf, thyme sprigs, or a strip of lemon peel) in a medium saucepan

• Boil the mixture over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.

• Simmer uncovered (or partially covered, checking periodically) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender but still retain a slight bite

• Cooking time can vary based on the age of the lentils

• Drain any excess liquid using a colander.

• Season the cooked lentils with salt, pepper, and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for brightness, then serve warm or cold
