Notes

How to Boil Lentils: It should weigh about 750 grams when it's done.
  1. Wash 200 grams of lentils well. Then, put them in a pressure cooker with 800 milliliters of water.
  2. After about 5-8 minutes of pressure cooking, remove it from the heat.
    * If you cook the beans for too long, they will lose their shape and turn into a mushy texture. If you've never cooked lentils in a pressure cooker before, start with 5 minutes of pressure cooking and see how it goes.
  3. When the pressure has decreased, open the lid and check with your finger how hard the beans are. If they are still crunchy, leave the lid open and cook them until they are soft enough for your taste.
  4. Use about half of the cooked beans for this recipe. You can use the rest of the lentils to make dishes like Vegan Bolognese.
