I do rather like the split red lentils and enjoy the mushiness, but Kerri doesn’t 🙂 Or mixing red and brown together to get some mushiness and some firmer ones.

When cooking lentils in the past I’d usually add a pinch of sugar and a squeeze or lemon or drop of vinegar, but the tomatoes in this recipe meant that it didn’t need either of those.

I also have a pork belly and puy lentil recipe that you might like ( I won’t spam your site with a link – it’s on the site and easy to find 🙂 ).

And I think the lentil dish looks very nice too. I usually make soup with them. If you stick to the unhulled ones, they shouldn’t go too mushy and if you pre-soak for a couple of hours, cooking time will drop dramatically. I tried hulled (or split) lentils in an Indian dish from Madhur Jaffrey and not only did I end up with puree, it tasted very much like the pumpkin cream I often make in the autumn. Now that was really weird.
