Green lentil porridge

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   So, to begin with, I recommend sorting out the lentils from possible garbage and those beans that do not suit you in quality. I always sort the lentils, but this step is not necessary.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the lentils in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under running water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour cold clean water into the pan. Add lentils. Place the pan over medium heat. You will learn how to choose a pan by reading an article on this topic. Link at the end of this recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   As soon as the water boils, add the required amount of salt. Reduce heat to low. You can cook the porridge without any salt at all and add it to the finished portion directly into the plates, if necessary.

5. STEP 5

   

   Foam will form in the pan as it cooks. It is better to remove it in a timely manner. This will make it easier to clean the pan after cooking. Green lentils take quite a long time to cook until they become a porridge (and not a side dish). My porridge cooked for about two hours with the lid slightly open. During cooking, you need to stir the porridge periodically to prevent the beans from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Before serving, add olive oil and salt to the porridge, if this has not been done previously.

I found a recipe for lentil porridge on the website and remembered that I had one)) It turned out to be a very nutritious porridge and goes well with many foods. We fried it with egg. Lentils come in different varieties: green, yellow, red. I think it’s red) It all contains easily digestible protein and a lot of useful microelements. This can't help but rejoice! We prepared porridge in the morning, but you can also enjoy it for dinner. Then I recommend serving with vegetables or herbs. Bon appetit!

Porridge is brilliant! Only I added garlic according to the recipe, but it needs less or not as bad as ours. The porridge smelled not like porridge, but garlic...
