Green Lentils

Hearty Home Cooking with Green Lentils

Green lentils are a flat, large-grained pulse that keeps its shape when cooked. Compared with red lentils, they have an earthier flavor and a firmer texture. That is why they are preferred in dishes where the grains should stay intact, as well as in salads and pilafs; they suit many recipes, from olive oil dishes to meat stews.

Part of the Tufan Organik legume range, green lentils can be cooked without soaking in most recipes. Adding a bay leaf to the water while boiling deepens their aroma. By draining and setting aside the cooked lentils, you can use them in both hot and cold recipes and add a flexible ingredient to your weekly meal plan.

Serving Suggestions

• Make a lentil bulgur pilaf with bulgur and fried onions.
• Serve cooked lentils as a salad with tomato, cucumber, parsley and lemon.
• Cook a saucy green lentil stew in a pot with ground meat and vegetables.
