Tip
Instead of using canned lentils, you can cook dried lentils. Place 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) dried green or yellow lentils in a saucepan with 11⁄2 cups (375 mL) water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes or until tender. Check near the end of cooking and add more water if the lentils become dry. Drain well. Makes about 11⁄4 cups (300 mL) cooked lentils.
Serving Idea
