Presoaking not required
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 and liquid 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 and pepper
