Black lentils have a rich, nutty flavor, and many cooks consider them the best lentil around. They have thicker shells than most lentils, so they hold their shape when cooked instead of turning into a mush. They’re full of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and potassium—plus, they’re loaded with anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant in blue and dark purple foods.
Organic black lentils are known for their versatility; they hold their shape in cooking and in salads, but you can also puree them for a smooth, creamy consistency in soups, stews, dips, and pastes. They have a mild, earthy taste and easily absorb flavors from spices, herbs, and vinegars. Try heaping them over sweet potatoes and topping with sour cream, or add them to tacos, tex-mex casseroles, and burgers. You can even use them to make vegan brownies if you’re feeling creative!
Use 3 cups liquid (water, or stock of your choice) to 1 cup dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan, as lentils will double or triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer until tender. Cooking time is typically 30–40 minutes.
