Lentils are a healthy and tasty cereal that can replace or reduce the consumption of meat products, as they contain a large amount of vegetable protein. To prepare a recipe for lentil porridge, use red lentils. They are more piquant and after heat treatment acquire a delicate creamy texture. The longer lentils are stored, the drier they become and require lengthy preparation. It is better to soak such lentils overnight so that they reveal their taste.

Step 1

Start cooking the lentils. Place the lentils in a small saucepan or saucepan and pour in clean cold water in a ratio of 1:2. Put on medium heat and, stirring, bring the water to a boil. As soon as the liquid boils, a lot of white foam will form on the surface - carefully remove it, then add salt and stir.

Step 2

Boil the lentil porridge. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the grains are soft and the liquid has completely evaporated. You can cover the pan with a lid or do without it at all. Keep in mind that if you close the lid tightly, the porridge will constantly boil over.
