How To Cook Lentils Perfectly
  1. Rinse the lentils in a fine mesh sieve and pick out any small stones or debris.

  2. Combine the lentils, bay leaves, 3 cups water and a generous pinch of salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

  3. Drain the lentils, discarding the bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Use in any recipe that calls for lentils.
