Consigli di utilizzo

These lentils do not require soaking. However, we recommend rinsing them in cold water before placing them in a pot with 500ml of water for each 100g of lentils.

Allow around 70g per person: bring to a boil before covering and cooking on a low heat for 8-10 min.

Once cooked, add salt for flavour and to prevent the lentils becoming hard and crunchy.
