BRAISED BLACK LENTILS



Braised Black Lentils image

Braised black lentils, also known as beluga lentils, since they resemble the most prized of all caviar varieties, make up one of my favorite side dishes.

CHEF JOHN'S BLACK LENTIL SOUP



Chef John's Black Lentil Soup image

There's absolutely nothing wrong with green lentil soup, but once you start making it with black 'beluga' lentils, you'll have a hard time going back. These black beauties cook up melt-in-your-mouth tender, but still retain their structural integrity, which gives the soup both a thick, satisfying body, and a light, non-starchy mouthfeel.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 ounces bacon, chopped
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ¼ cups black beluga lentils
5 cups chicken broth, or as needed
1 bay leaf
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until bacon is browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, carrot, celery, and salt; cook and stir until onion is softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with black pepper, cumin, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
  • Pour lentils into bacon mixture and stir to coat completely in rendered bacon fat. Add chicken broth and bay leaf; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, adding more chicken broth as needed, until lentils are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

VEGAN BLACK LENTIL BOLOGNESE



Vegan Black Lentil Bolognese image

This vegan bolognese uses black lentils for a meaty texture, and is slowly simmered to bring out the deepest and richest flavors from the sauce. It's even better on the second day!

Provided by Eva

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup (175g) dried black lentils, debris removed and rinsed
2 medium (600g) yellow onions
2 ribs (120g) celery
1 large carrot (125g)
6 cloves (30g) garlic
1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil
2 tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL) white or chickpea miso
1/2 cup (120 mL) red wine, more as needed to thin
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato paste
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 heaping tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
salt, if needed, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium pot combine the dried black lentils and 4 cups of hot water. Simmer for 20 minutes until the lentils are cooked but still firm. Drain and set aside to cool until ready to use.
  • Use a food processor to finely dice the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Process the vegetables until minced, working in batches if needed, then add to a large pot. Alternatively you can finely dice them by hand.
  • Add the 1/4 cup of olive oil to the pot with the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and add a pinch of salt. Turn the heat on to medium and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has cooked off, the mixture has lost volume and turned somewhat of a golden hue, and the onion is starting to brown just a little in in areas.
  • Add the soy sauce, miso, and red wine, and stir, letting it absorb into the vegetables for 1-2 minutes.
  • Then, add the crushed tomato, tomato paste, dried basil, and dried thyme and turn the heat down to low. Cover the mixture, leaving the lid ajar, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the cooked lentils and the fresh rosemary, along with some freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring more frequently towards the end of the cooking time, adding a splash of wine if the sauce gets too thick and dry.
  • Serve the bolognese on pasta, use it as a sauce on pizza, or just eat it straight from the pot with a spoon!

BLACK BELUGA LENTIL PILAF



Black Beluga Lentil Pilaf image

No, silly, not fish roe! A recently discovered heirloom pulse I tried for the first time, beluga lentils are earthy and delicious; not mealy or dry textured!

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile bring salmon to room temperature. Season fish with salt and pepper.
  • In a oven-safe non-stick pan (I used a cast iron skillet), heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Place salmon, skin side up, in hot oil. Sear for about 2 minutes, then flip and sear for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer fish to preheated oven and continue cooking, about 5-7 minutes or until fish is done to your liking. (5 minutes should be about medium, and 7 minutes for well-done).

  • Rinse lentils well under warm water using a mesh strainer. I will tell you from experience that, due to their small size, lentils will fall right through a regular colander, so invest in a mesh sieve like the one I used linked here. You’ll find that they handy with rinsing rice, quinoa, and many other grains as well.
  • Place the lentils in a stockpot and add 2 cups of water or vegetable broth for every 1 cup of lentils. You can add more liquid as they are cooking if they begin to look too dry.
  • Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and allow to cook 20-25 minutes (brown, green, and black lentils), stirring occasionally.

  • Place the lentils in a small pot and cover with water by at least an inch. Add a teaspoon of kosher salt. Bring to a simmer. Simmer till done. Times will vary considerably. My black lentils have been cooking consistently in about 23-25 minutes. If you are using French Green lentils, they’ll likely need a little more time. Taste before draining them.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Stir. Cover the pan and immediately turn the heat to low. I like to cook the onions super slowly for the entire time the lentils are cooking. Open the lid to check on the onions periodically, allowing any water trapped in the lid to drip back into the pan.
  • When the lentils are done, remove the lid from the onion pan and turn heat to medium. Add the vinegar and cook until it reduces and becomes almost syrupy. Add the lentils and stir to combine. Add the spinach and a pinch of salt, then turn off the heat. Leave the spinach alone for a minute or two, then use tongs or a large spoon to incorporate the leaves into the lentils. Taste. Adjust with sea salt as needed or a splash more vinegar if necessary.
  • To serve, smear some labneh across a plate. Spoon the warm spinach and lentils over top. Alternatively, if using burrata, break up the ball of burrata and drop spoonfuls of the creamy cheese over top. Or, if you are making the lemony yogurt sauce, stir together the yogurt, lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth; then smear that over a serving platter, before topping it with the spinach and lentils.
