Red Lentils (aka Rose Lentils, Masoor Dal), plain, cooked This dish is the main part of many vegan meals. Prepare this dish and store it in small containers in the frig or freezer for regular use. One cup of dried red lentils beans has nearly 50 grams of protein and costs about $0.50. Time-to-eat by cooking on the stove top 20 minutes Ingredients 1 cup red lentils (These are a beautiful rose color because the green skin has been removed.) 3 cups tap water Step-by-step directions 1 Measure, sift, and rinse lentils. 2 Stove top, not-soaked method: In a large pot cook lentils with about 3 cups tap water for about 20 minutes or until mushy. Monitor water content along the way. 3 Once the red lentils are fully cooked and mushy, use the cooked red lentils in a recipe and/or store it in small amounts in the freezer or in the frig for future use. This "ingredient" or dish is the base of many vegan recipes. See the recipes that call for plain cooked mung beans and use this recipe to get this "ingredient".  I always bag up my cooked legumes and freeze them for other times.  |
