Cooking and Storage Tips for Organic Black Lentils You can use organic black lentils in any recipe with lentils. However, due to their firmer texture, they would work best in recipes that require whole-cooked lentils. Soups and salads taste the best with them because of the rich natural flavor of this food. You don’t need to pre-soak organic lentils. Rinse them and start cooking. Usually, you’ll need to cook organic black lentils for about 30 minutes to keep them firm. Cook for 40 minutes if you’d like them to become so soft they’ll fall apart. Store organic black lentils in an airtight container. If you keep them dry, they will keep for well over a year. You can keep them in the freezer, but it’s not necessary. Lentils contain very little fat. Therefore, the risk of them going rancid is low. The most important thing is to keep them dry and away from heat. Cooking Instructions Get creative! Fold lentils into an omelet, stir them into pasta sauce, use them in place of chickpeas for hummus or mash them up to make a veggie burger or meatless meatballs. Organic Black lentils don’t need to be presoaked the way other legumes do. You can just put them in a pot, cover them with about a half-inch of water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 40 minutes.
