Red Lentils

Tufan Organik Red Lentils, from the Legumes and Legume Products range: a natural food with roots in Gürün/Sivas.

A Pot for Every Season: Red Lentils

With their hulled orange grains, red lentils are among the most frequently cooked pulses in kitchens. They need no soaking, cook quickly and break down into a velvety consistency. This soft texture makes them ideal for soups, purées and köfte, and their slightly sweet flavor pairs easily with spices.

At Tufan Organik, we see red lentils as one of the everyday helpers of the kitchen. Rinsing and draining them a few times before cooking reduces foaming. A pot that starts with onion and tomato paste quickly turns into a warm, filling meal when finished with a drizzle of butter with red pepper flakes.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve lentil soup, cooked and puréed with carrot and onion, with lemon and red pepper flakes.
  • Bring lentil köfte kneaded with fine bulgur to the table with fresh greens.
  • Cook them with zucchini and potato to make a soft vegetable purée to eat with a spoon.

Packaging: Available in various weights, on request.
