Cooking Instructions

Pressure Cooker Method

1. Soak lentils in plenty of water for at least 6 hours or overnight. (You may want to use seawater.)

2. Drain lentils, then combine them with the water and all other ingredients in a pressure cooker.

3. Cover, set the control knob at 15 pounds pressure and cook for 20 minutes after the control knob jiggles. Adjust heat so that the control jiggles 1 to 3 times a minute.

4. Allow the cooker to cook on the stovetop for 5 minutes, then place it in a bucket of sea water to reduce pressure.

Regular Cooking Method

Soak lentils as indicated above; combine all ingredients in a large cooking pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 40 to 50 minutes or until tender.
