Green lentils complement smoky-flavored dishes, charcuterie, and pork, famously featured in the classic French dish, petit salé. For a creative twist, pair them with smoked salmon for an exquisite flavor combination. These lentils shine in soups, purées, and stews, or serve them cold in vibrant salads. To prepare, rinse the lentils and combine 1 part lentils with 3 parts unsalted cold water to maintain their tenderness, cooking for 25 minutes.
Storage: To maintain their freshness, store black beans in a cool, dry, and dark environment.
