LENTILS, AUTUMN BLEND - Kosher

ALB-10

Description:

Chieftain’s Autumn Lentil Blend is a richly colored array of some of our best selling lentils. The blend provided a mild, earthy flavor and soft texture making it perfect for soups, stews, spreads, and baked dishes. Autumn Lentil Blend contains French Green, Petite Crimson, Petite Golden, Black Beluga, Brown Spanish Pardina, and Ivory White Lentils. If cooked for an extended time, the color fades. Autumn Lentil Blend is delicious as a side dish or main entrée. Add to bean dishes or soups for an additional flavor boost and thickener.

Cooking hint: To preserve the color of these multi-colored beautiful lentils, shock cook the lentils by placing them in a strainer and dipping them into hot boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from boiling water and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Repeat the process until cooked.

Ingredient Statement:

French Green, Petite Crimson, Golden, Black, Spanish Pardina, Ivory. Lentils (may contain a trace percentage of cereal grains).

Quick-cooking and versatile, Lentils are an obvious choice for winter soups, salads, curries, pilafs, stuffing, and stir-fry. Mix with breadcrumbs and use to stuff peppers or eggplant. Blend with couscous and use as a bed for grilled seafood or poultry. Toss cooked and chilled Lentils and diced roasted vegetables with a little olive oil and season to taste. Use in soups, stews, baked beans, stir-fry, spreads, and dips. Season with spicy chile peppers, fresh herbs, garlic, or curry, add dried fruits or mint for a zesty flavor.

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Lentils do not require soaking. Simmer 1 cup lentils with 4 cups water for 20-30 minutes for main dishes. If salt is desired, add at the end of cook time to prevent toughness.

One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.
