How To Cook Lentils
Lentils are Quick & Easy to Cook and Prepare
• Lentils to do not require soaking like other pulses.
• Rinse your lentils with fresh water before boiling to remove any dust or debris.
• Cook on a stovetop, using 3 cups of liquid (water, stock, etc) to 1 cup of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will double or triple in size.
• Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender.
• For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes. For split red lentils, cook time is typically only about 5-7 minutes.
• Be sure to season with salt after cooking – if salt is added before, the lentils will become tough.

▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
✅ ???? BAKING DISH: 9 X13 inches
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml Can) Cooked Chickpeas
400ml / 1+3/4 Cup Passata / Tomato Puree
1+1/2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup (to balance the acidity of the tomatoes)
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
1 Teaspoon Salt or to taste (I added pink Himalayan salt)
???? Vegetables & other ingredients:
700g / 4 to 5 Medium YELLOW POTATOES (Yukon Gold) - Peeled and cut into1/8th inch thick slices (with skin 825g approx.)
✅ YELLOW POTATOES ARE LOW TO MEDIUM STARCH AND WELL SUITED FOR ROASTING
600g / 2 to 3 Zucchini (WITH THE TIPS 640g approx.) - Tips chopped off & cut into 1/4th inch thick slices
200g / 2 Medium Tomatoes (cut into 1/4th inch thick slices)
200g / 1 Medium Onion OR 2 small onions (with skin 655g approx.) - cut into 1/4th inch thick slices
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic - Finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Dry Oregano
1 Teaspoon Dry Thyme
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
3 to 4 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt to taste (I added 1 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
???? Garnish:
2 Tablespoon / 6g Parsley - finely chopped
1/2 cup / 12g Fresh Basil
Olive oil (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
Ground black pepper to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Start by prepping the vegetables. Thoroughly wash the vegetables. Peel and slice the potatoes into thin slices, 1/8th inch thick. Remove the tips of the zucchini and slice it into 1/4th inch thick slices. Same with the tomatoes and onion, cut it into thin slices. TRANSFER ONLY THE SLICES POTATO AND ZUCCHINI INTO A MIXING BOWL and set aside.
DO NOT MIX THE TOMATOES AND ONIONS SLICES WITH the zucchini and potatoes. Keep it separately.
✅ ???? THIS RECIPE USES YELLOW POTATOES. THEY ARE LOW TO MEDIUM STARCH AND WELL SUITED FOR ROASTING
Drain 1 can of cooked chickpea OR 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas and add to a 9 x 13 inches baking dish. Add the passata/tomato puree, maple syrup, ground cumin, salt, cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until spices are well combined.
Back to the mixing bowl with the zucchini and potato slices - add finely chopped garlic, dry oregano, thyme, ground black pepper, salt, olive oil and mix well until nicely coated with the herbs and oil.
PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 400 F.
Arrange the potato, zucchini, tomato and onion slices as shown in the video and lay it on top of the chickpea tomato layer. There may be a lot of liquid from the zucchini collected at the bottom of the bowl. DO NOT THROW IT. POUR IT EVENLY OVER THE LAYERED VEGETABLES. Fit in any extra slices of tomato/onion between the layers. Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil or if your baking dish has a lid then even better. Bake for 40 minutes covered at 400 F in a pre-heated oven. After 40 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and remove the aluminum foil covering. Bake it uncover for another 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. IT TOOK ME 20 MINUTES IN MY OVEN.
???? To check if the potatoes are cooked, stick a knife or a fork through one of the potato slices. If not cooked bake for longer.
At the end of the baking process, SWITCH THE SETTING OF YOUR OVEN TO BROIL. Broil anywhere between 2 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and let it sit on a wire rack. Brush the top of the vegetables with olive oil. Garnish with chopped parsley, fresh basil & black pepper. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or rice or a green salad.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? ✅ THIS RECIPE USES YELLOW POTATOES. YELLOW POTATOES ARE LOW TO MEDIUM STARCH AND WELL SUITED FOR ROASTING
???? Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8th inch (thinner than the other vegetables) to match the cooking time with the other vegetables
???? The zucchini & potatoes release a lot of water after adding the salt/herbs/garlic. DO NOT THROW THE WATER AWAY. POUR IT EVENLY OVER THE LAYERED VEGETABLES
???? Every oven is different so adjust the baking time accordingly

Lemon juice to taste (I have added 1/2 Tablespoon of lemon juice)
Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 Teaspoon)
Drizzle of olive oil (I have added 1 tablespoon of organic Cold Pressed Olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the brown lentils - a few times until the water runs clear and then soak for 10 to 12 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain the water and transfer the lentils to a pot and add the vegetable broth. Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and bring it to a vigorous boil. Then turn the heat to medium-low and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the lentils are cooked but still holds its shape. It took me 3 minutes to cook the lentils on my stove. WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS HERE. Once cooked set it aside UNCOVERED.
✅ ????PLEASE NOTE: The cooking time of the lentils depends on it's quality. Sometimes one batch of lentils are drier than the others and may require longer cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY.
To a heated pan add olive oil, chopped onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and fry on medium heat until the onions are browned. It will take 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low before adding the spices, this will prevent it from burning. Add paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, tomato paste and fry for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Once the paste/spices are nicely roasted, increase the heat to medium. Add the chopped Tomatoes, Salt, Sugar, Water and mix well. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes or until the tomatoes are slightly soft.
✅ ????PLEASE NOTE: Adding 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the tomatoes, balances out it's acidity/tartness so please do not skip it.
Add the cooked lentils and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or until most of the water is evaporated on medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and garnish with lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, Goof quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve hot with fresh pita and a side salad.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Cooking time of the lentils depends on it's quality. Sometimes one batch of brown lentils are drier than the others and may need more cooking time. So adjust the cooking time accordingly
???? Please don't over cook the lentils, WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS for this recipe. The lentils should be cooked but at the same time still hold their shape. After bringing the lentils and broth to a boil, it took me only 3 minutes to cook the lentils on my stove
???? Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
???? Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, then reduce the heat
????Adding 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the tomatoes, balances out it's acidity/tartness so please do not skip it
???? If incase the end product gets too thick for your liking, add boiling water to thin it out. DO NOT add cold water, it will ruin the taste
???? The garnish is what actually completes this dish and adds flavour to it, so please do not skip any of the ingredients
