The most common way to prepare lentils is in stews or potages. For this method, they are cooked with water and the rest of the ingredients, whether meat or vegetables. This gives lentils a special flavor. In summer, they can also be used to make cold lentil salads. Lentils double in quantity. If you prepare 500 grams of dry lentils, after draining, you'll get 1 kilogram of cooked lentils.

- Lentils do not need to be soaked beforehand, but if you want quick cooking, soak them for 6 hours in a 1 x 3 ratio of water. - Drain and rinse with cold water to remove sugars released during soaking. - Ready to cook.
