Black lentiles

The black organic lentils from the Bioland farm Marcus Comtesse have a nutty, aromatic flavor, hold their shape well when cooked, and are ideal for salads, roasts, or as a side dish. Before cooking, dried lentils should be soaked in water, preferably overnight, but for at least 4 to 6 hours. The lentils swell during soaking and have a more tender texture afterward. Black organic lentils require about 25 to 40 minutes of cooking time.
