Coral lentils have a mild and slightly sweet aroma when cooked. They also give off a subtle hint of hazelnut. These lentils have a more delicate flavor than other lentil varieties, making them popular in many dishes, especially soups, curries, and salads. The natural aroma of coral lentils pairs well with various spices and aromatic herbs.
Coral lentils can be used to prepare creamy soups, spicy curries, fresh salads, or vegetarian patties. They cook quickly and don't require prior soaking, making them a convenient choice for quick and nutritious dishes.
To cook coral lentils, simply rinse them in cold water to remove impurities. Then, in a saucepan, add 1 part of lentils to 2 to 2.5 parts of water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the lentils become tender but maintain their shape. Drain any excess water if necessary.
