I've never cooked lentils so can't answer that question. Have you thought
about using black beans?

Just a thought,

Subject: [CnD] cooking lentils?

Hi all,
Yesterday I said I could cook the lentils, and that the seasoning was the
part I wasn't sure about. As it turns out, cooking lentils is hard. Today's
batch turned out to be mostly wet bean mush with soft bits of skin mixed in.
I was hoping sore something with less liquid and more body to it, but the
texture of the lentils was… off-putting. The flavor was fine, but the
texture… Not so much. How much less could I cook them and still have them
work? Should I switch to a different kind of bean for this job, or can I
still make lentils work? I simmered them for an hour in a pot of water, if
that matters.
