Step 1

Add lentils and water to sauce pan over medium heat. Ensure water is covering lentils. Bring to a rumbling simmer, then lower heat to a regular simmer.

Step 2

Let lentils cook for around 20 to 30 minutes (see time variations below), or until soft and chewy but still firm. If water level drops below lentils before they're cooked, add a little more liquid.

When finished, add salt to taste and season lentils.
