Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the lentils into a saucepan and cover with several inches of cold water. Turn on the heat to medium, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, until tender. Drain the lentils and quickly run under cold water to halt the cooking process. You want to cool the lentils enough so that they do not overcook, but still leave them a little bit warm.
