Energizing Green Lentil Porridge

Nutritious porridge is the key to a productive day. Lentils come in different varieties: green, yellow, red. All of it contains easily digestible protein and a lot of useful microelements. But my favorite variety is green. Porridge made from these beans will charge you with energy and give you strength for the whole day.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
So, to begin with, I recommend sorting out the lentils from possible garbage and those beans that do not suit you in quality. I always sort the lentils, but this step is not necessary.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the lentils in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under running water.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour cold clean water into the pan. Add lentils. Place the pan over medium heat. You will learn how to choose a pan by reading an article on this topic. Link at the end of this recipe.

Step 4

Step 4
As soon as the water boils, add the required amount of salt. Reduce heat to low. You can cook the porridge without salt at all and add it to the finished portion directly into the plates, if necessary.

Step 5

Step 5
Foam will form in the pan as it cooks. It is better to remove it in a timely manner. This will make it easier to clean the pan after cooking. Green lentils take quite a long time to cook until they become a porridge (and not a side dish). My porridge cooked for about two hours with the lid slightly open. During cooking, you need to stir the porridge periodically to prevent the beans from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Step 6
Before serving, add olive oil and salt to the porridge, if this has not been done previously.
