soak over night, in salt water if you like em salty, then cook, in fresh water, bring slowly to boil and then simmer on low heat. Add some spices if you like flavour. Enjoy. As for the farting, if you don't want gas, don't eat fibre. Or, be like me, get plenty of fibre, make farting a celebration of a healthy bowel and if anyone complains shout "do you want me to get a bowel obstruction??" in their face. Then fart again.

Nice in a pita with some salad and some kidney beans.

The lentils I use don't need soaking overnight - Hungry Jack organic ones I think.

But they are utterly great are lentils. Just been making baby food with them and I often sneak a mouthful myself 8)

Cheers. Would the quality affect them? These are supermarket own brand and are quite potent.

There's only one way to eat lentils, and that is via the medium of popadoms.
