How to Cook Organic Green Lentils Fast Unlike the majority of legumes, organic green lentils don’t need pre-soaking. Therefore, you can cook them fast. Note that if you overcook them a bit, they can become mushy. This doesn’t affect the taste and some recipes even call for this texture. However, if you want your lentils to turn out perfect, follow these instructions: Rinse 1 cup of dried organic green lentils in cool water and drain them in a strainer. Put lentils in a saucepan and add 2 cups of water (the ratio is always 1 part of lentils and 2 parts of liquid). Add seasonings you want to ‘infuse’ your lentils with, except for salt. You can forego this step if you’ll use the legumes in some spicy stew or simply replace water with a flavorful broth. Bring the pot to a boil and quickly reduce to simmer (the lowest heat you can get). Cook for 20-30 minutes uncovered and stir rarely. If necessary, add more water/broth during the cooking process. Add the salt when lentils turn tender as it’ll make them ‘tougher’. Therefore, if added at the beginning, lentils will take longer to cook. Taste your organic green lentils occasionally to determine if they are ready. And they are ready when they achieve the texture you need. If you plan to add them to a stew and cook more with a sauce, it might be best to undercook the legumes originally. However, it’s all a matter of personal tastes.
