Should Lentils Be Soaked Before Cooking

Should Lentils Be Soaked Before Cookingに関する主要なデータを丁寧に解説いたします。

If you do decide to soak (I see you, overachievers), here’s a pro trick: soak them in leftover chicken or vegetable broth. Or add a bay leaf and a clove of garlic to the water. The lentils will absorb that flavor like a tiny sponge, giving you a head start on tastiness. Just don’t soak longer than eight hours, or they’ll start fermenting and you’ll have lentil wine. Do not drink lentil wine.

Another wild truth: you can sprout lentils by soaking them for 12–24 hours and then draining them. Sprouted lentils are a crunchy, living snack that taste like fresh peas and defiance. But that’s a different article—and a different level of kitchen nerdery.
