Dark Speckled Lentils Organic - Quick Reference
What is it?: Organic small dark speckled lentils, often valued for their firm texture and ability to hold their shape.
Flavour: Deeply earthy, nutty and slightly mineral.
Common uses: Warm salads, lentil casseroles, French-style dishes, soups and accompaniments to roasted vegetables.
Pairs well with: Thyme, bay, garlic, shallot, mustard, walnuts and mushrooms.
How to use: Rinse and simmer gently until tender; avoid vigorous boiling if you want the lentils to remain intact.
Compare with: They are firmer and more intensely flavoured than ordinary green or brown lentils.
Substitute: Green lentils can replace them, though the finished dish will be softer and milder.
Storage: Store sealed in a cool, dry place.
Good to know: The naturally mottled skins help these lentils retain their shape, making them well suited to plated dishes and salads.
