Lentils – a versatile food in the modern kitchen
What makes lentils special?
Lentils, also known by their botanical name “Lens culinaris”, are an integral part of fine cuisine and have been appreciated in various cultures for centuries.
The disc-shaped seeds are characterized by their versatility in the kitchen. After harvesting, they have a light to olive green color, which turns yellow-brown to brown after prolonged storage.
Culinary use of lentils
Lentils are particularly popular for preparing hearty soups and stews. Their ability to absorb flavors while retaining their shape makes them an ideal ingredient for these dishes. In addition to hot dishes, they are ideal for salads. Their nutty flavor and pleasant texture enhance any salad recipe and offer a welcome change from traditional ingredients.
Cooking time and preparation
The preparation is straightforward. For most recipes, the cooking time is around 45 minutes, and no pre-soaking is necessary. This makes them a practical and time-saving option for many meals.
