HOW TO COOK LENTILS
The cooking instructions for most lentils are relatively the same. The main difference is simply the amount of time to cook them.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse lentils well under warm water using a mesh strainer. I will tell you from experience that, due to their small size, lentils will fall right through a regular colander, so invest in a mesh sieve like the one I used linked here. You'll find that they handy with rinsing rice, quinoa, and many other grains as well. 2. Make sure to pick out any peoples or other debris. 3. Place the lentils in a stockpot and add 2 cups of water or vegetable broth for every 1 cup of lentils. You can add more liquid as they are cooking if they begin to look too dry. 4. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and allow to cook 20-25 minutes (brown, green, and black lentils), stirring occasionally. 5. Add liquid if necessary and continue cooking until the lentils are tender but not mushy. 6. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

BLACK BELUGA LENTIL PILAF
No, silly, not fish roe! A recently discovered heirloom pulse I tried for the first time, beluga lentils are earthy and delicious; not mealy or dry textured! Once cooked, the lentils do look like caviar! Makes a good filling for tortillas, too! Recipe compliments of Westbrae Naturals (with just a few minor changes.)

BRAISED BLACK LENTILS
Braised black lentils, also known as beluga lentils, since they resemble the most prized of all caviar varieties, make up one of my favorite side dishes.

CHEF JOHN'S BLACK LENTIL SOUP
There's absolutely nothing wrong with green lentil soup, but once you start making it with black 'beluga' lentils, you'll have a hard time going back. These black beauties cook up melt-in-your-mouth tender, but still retain their structural integrity, which gives the soup both a thick, satisfying body, and a light, non-starchy mouthfeel.
