How To Cook Red Lentils

First, rinse the lentils by placing them in a sieve under running water. Transfer them to a pan with water or broth (for every 1 cup of lentils, use 1 1/2 cups of water or broth). Feel free to add flavorings, but don’t add salt yet. Bring the lentils to a boil, then turn down the heat and let them simmer. Stir them occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes for a firm texture that can be used in salads. Cook for 15 to 25 minutes for a puree. Add salt once the lentils are almost done cooking.
