Red Split Lentils: Creamy Stew in Minutes

Rinse 1 cup of red split lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove any dust or debris. Add the rinsed lentils to a pot with 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. The lentils will soften and start to break down, turning creamy. For extra flavor, toss in salt, pepper, turmeric, or a bay leaf while cooking. You can also add diced onions, garlic, or tomatoes if you want a richer taste. When the lentils are tender and creamy, serve as a stew, over rice, or as a base for dal or curry. Red split lentils are super versatile and cook so fast, making them perfect for quick weeknight meals. #lentilrecipes #quickmeals #vegetarian #Food #Cooking
