Red split lentils cook down quickly to a soft, creamy texture, making them ideal for thickening dhal, soups and stews. They need no soaking and simmer in a straightforward pan of water or stock, breaking down as they cook rather than holding their shape. These pulses work well in classic home cooking. Use them for a simple dhal with onion, garlic and spices, stir them into vegetable soup for extra body, or add to a curry to bulk it out. They also blend smoothly, so cooked lentils can be mashed or pureed for a thicker base in sauces and stews. For best results, rinse the lentils before cooking to remove any dust from the pack. Add them to boiling water or stock and simmer until tender, stirring occasionally so they don't catch on the bottom of the pan. Once cooked, they keep well in the fridge for a few days, ready to be added to another meal. Store the dry lentils in a cool, dry cupboard in a sealed container once opened, away from damp. This keeps them in good condition and ready to use whenever a quick, simple pulse dish is needed. A 500g pack gives enough for several meals, whether that's a weeknight dhal or a pot of soup for the week ahead.
