LENTILS, PETITE GOLDEN - Kosher

PGL-10, PGL-5

Description:

Petite Golden Lentils are the tiny, lens-shaped seed of a small shrub. Petite Golden Lentils are richly gold in color with a mild, earthy flavor and soft texture. Petite Golden Lentils are smaller and more round in shape compared to other types of lentils. This quick-cooking lentil is about ½ cm. wide. When cooked they hold their shape and since they are mild in flavor they do well with more assertive flavorings. Used in vegetarian cooking as a meat substitute, these tiny lentils are low in fat and high in protein and fiber. A staple food for many South Asian cultures, lentils have been eaten for over 8000 years and originated in Southwestern Asia along the Indus River. There is no need to soak lentils.

Ingredient Statement:

Yellow Lentils (may contain a trace percentage of cereal grains).

Quick-cooking and versatile, Petite Golden Lentils are an obvious choice for winter soups, salads, curries, pilafs, stuffing, and stir-fry. Mix with breadcrumbs and use to stuff vegetables or blend with couscous and use as a bed for grilled seafood or poultry. Toss cooked and chilled Petite Golden Lentils and diced roasted vegetables with a little olive oil and season to taste.

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Lentils do not require soaking. Simmer 1 cup lentils with 4 cups water 12 minutes for salads, 15 to 20 minutes for main dishes. Skim the water while cooking.

One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.
