Preparation Instructions
1. Rinse lentils on a flat surface and look for any rare pits shriveled or discolored. Discard fixed lentils (and, if you find them, any small rocks).

Yield: 1 cup of dried lentils = 2 cups of cooked lentils.
3. Bring 1 cup of lentils and 2 cups of water to a boil. Reduce and heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes until tender. Add 1 tsp of vegetable oil if desired.
