NEW YEAR'S LENTILS: How to make them delicious and simple 🍾
How to cook lentils best.
Ingredients for about 4 people.
200 grams of dried lentils.
1 liter of water for cooking.
1 medium-sized carrot.
1 whole celery stalk.
half an onion (if it's small, 1 is fine).
1 dried chili pepper.
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Salt to taste.
2 bay leaves, to taste.
Method:
Sauté the finely chopped vegetables in
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for 2-3 minutes, covered, over low heat.
Add the lentils and sauté for a few minutes.
Add the bay leaves and the crumbled dried chili pepper.
Then add the water and cover with a lid. When the water boils, lower the heat and cook, covered, for about 25-30 minutes. Once ready, season with salt and another 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Serve them hot, perhaps accompanied with white rice, or on New Year's Eve with Cotechino 🎉🍾🍾🙋
