TRS Green lentils 500g

TRS Green Lentils are whole lentils with the skin left on — dark green-brown, firm, and quite different in behaviour from the split red kind. They keep their shape through cooking instead of collapsing, which makes them as useful in a salad as in a dal.

Best for

• Sabut masoor dal and whole lentil curries
• Lentil soups, stews and salads
• Sprouting

How to cook it

Rinse well and pick over for stones. Soaking is optional but a 30 minute soak cuts the cooking time. Simmer with about 3 parts water to 1 part lentils for 30 to 40 minutes, or pressure cook for 4 to 5 whistles, until tender but still whole. Salt at the end — added early it keeps the skins tough.
