Brown lentils hold their shape well once simmered, softening to a tender bite without turning mushy. This makes them a dependable base for hearty, home-style cooking. These are whole brown lentils, sold in a 500g pack. They have an earthy, mild flavour that takes on the taste of whatever they are cooked with, from stock and spices to garlic and onion. Their firm texture means they keep some bite even after a long simmer, so they work well in dishes that need a bit of structure. At home, brown lentils are often used in shepherd's pie as a base or bulking layer, stirred into a warming dahl, or added to soups and stews for extra body. They also work well cooled and tossed through a salad with chopped vegetables and a simple dressing, making the most of their firm, nutty texture. Rinse the lentils before cooking to remove any dust from the pack. Simmer in plenty of water or stock until tender, then drain any excess liquid. Once cooked, they keep well in the fridge for a few days, ready to add to soups, stews or salads through the week. Store the dry lentils in a cool, dry cupboard until needed.
