Recipe Notes
As mentioned, you will need rinsed and cooked lentils to make this recipe. To cook your lentils, simply add the rinsed lentils to simmering water and bump the water down to low. The continue to cook until the appear to be plump and tender. Also mentioned, lentil flavors vary according to their color For this recipe I suggest using a lighter colored lentil (light brown) as this is a milder lentil. It is also easier to cook the lighter colored lentils.
