HOW TO COOK lentils and buckwheat. I want lentil or buckwheat dish that tastes good and is easy and fast to prepare.How to make a lentil soup or something.You can also propose lentil+buckwheat dish.
>>21641225>how to cookliterally just boil them. I think 3:1 water to lentils @20 min or so, or just use a lot and drain them afterwards. add basic soup tech to that with some aromatics, veggies, herbs, stock instead of water, maybe some bacon or smoked hock or neck, and walaaaa lentil soup, mash or blend as needed. personally I mostly use beluga lentils to stretch my chili and burrito fillings. there are also countless indian recipes for lentils and lentil-adjacent things like split peas
>>21641225Just boil them? I find 1/2tsp baking soda helps them cook more quickly (1hr to 45min for bigger beans, 30min to 20min for smaller beans like lentils), but it's by no means necessary. Don't add acid, it'll make them harder/crunchy in an unpleasant way.>How to make a lentil soup or something.Boil/strain pasta, add to broth.Boil/strain beans, add to broth.Yes it's that easy.
>>21641225- couple of onions, diced- couple of carrots, diced- couple of celery stalks, diced- couple of cloves of garlic, minced- 1 Tbsp salt- 1/2 tsp pepper- 1 tsp thyme- 1 tsp parsley- 1 lb lentils- 6 cups chicken stock or water + chicken bouillon1. saute the onions, add the carrots and celery and saute those too2. add the garlic and herbs3. add the stock and bring to a boil4. add the lentils and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes or until tender
>>21641225If you want whole lentils, where the skin doesn't burst, so you can use them in salads or something where the texture is important, then try soaking the lentils for 4 hours in salt water, draining & rinsing before cooking.The sodium ions replace some of the calcium in the skins which makes them more elastic and stretchy, so the lentil ends up inflating like a water balloon instead of bursting open into mush.
>saute onions and carrots, maybe some celery in butter or olive oil>add garlic if you like towards the end>add rinsed lentils>add chicken stock>salt, pepper, maybe a bay leaf or whatever else you want in it>bring to a boil>reduce to simmer..cook until done Isometimes i'll cook some bacon, and saute the veg in the grease then add the bacon back after I've added the stockSometimes I'll brown a chicken leg or thigh, or two, first, then add it back with the stock, then fish it out and strip all the meat and add it back to the pot and throw away the bone and skin Lentils are easy because you can eyeball the liquid, they're not as finicky as beans
>>21641339I use neckbone sometimes too
>>21641244Dal tadka is delicious. Don't fall for any low-fat meme recipes, it will be much tastier if you add cream or coconut milk. Also don't feel like you need to keep it vegetarian. Chicken broth instead of vegetable broth makes it more satisfying.
>>21641244>literally just boil them. I think 3:1 water to lentils @20 min or soIf I do this and eat them they taste bad, I don't like lentils anymore, what to do?>add basic soup tech to that with some aromatics, veggies, herbs, stock instead of waterWhat exactly to add? I never made soup in my life.>maybe some bacon or smoked hock or neckBacon is not vegan.
>>21641563Idk vegan food sucks. Add a shitload of olive oil and use vegetable stock I guess
>>21641225>buckwheat>fastProperly cooking buckwheat groats takes 1.5h.You need to first toast the buckwheat with some lard (yes lard, it tastes best with lard, don't put in your gay oils or whatever) for 3 minutes or so, then add water in proportion 1:1.5 buckwheat to water IN TERMS OF VOLUME. The water needs to be fucking boiling of course because you just put hot fat in the groats. Boil on medium heat. Add some salt.Then once the groats have absorbed ALL of the water, you must cover the pan and turn the heat to an absolute minimum (or even turn it off completely); ideally you put the pot in around 80C oven. Leave for an hour or so.What to eat it with? You need plenty of sauce. Buckwheat pairs best with braised meat, ideally game or beef, braised wildboar with buckwheat groats is a real treat. Braising produces enough sauce for everyone to enjoy their groats, and the tastes nicely combine.Mushroom sauce is always good with some buckwheat groats, so get your pork shoulder plus mushrooms in.I don't eat lentils, so I don't know anything about them.
>>21641339Dont add salt until the lentils are cooked, it fucks them up
>>21641743This is a myth, salt doesn't inhibit lentils cooking at all.
Lentils have saponins big time, you want to soak them in several changes of cold water. It also helps to activate them. If you can soak them for a day they will start to sprout and the nutrition profile improves, they also take less time to cook.>>21641726>wildboarWild boar is TWO words, esl.
>>21641225I soak them overnight. They taste much better.After soaking I let them sprout sometimes. But the more they sprout the more they taste like plants.So I found that soaking overnight does a decent enough job.
learn english dumbass
>>21641563I missed the vegan part, but I think you get the point. saute some onions, herbs, add chopped veggies, dry lentils, add vegetable stock, boil, cover, reduce to a simmer and let it go for 20-30 minutes. look up any lentil soup recipe, they're bound to follow this basic pattern.

>>21641260>Just boil them?I boil but I don't like the taste, it's bland, like nothing.>I find 1/2tsp baking soda helps them cook more quickly (1hr to 45min for bigger beans, 30min to 20min for smaller beans like lentils)I only eat lentils because they have the most protein and /fit/ told me I need one million protein per day or I will die.>add to broth.Broth is not vegan.
oh he's a fucking retard. should've known.
Fry some bacon or kielbasa, add onions, add buckwheat, season with marjoram. It's also great with celeriac fries.
>>21641225For lentils I soaked them overnight and boiled them in broth and veggies for around a half a hour, it was ok not that great. For buckwheat you wash them, set water to boil, for every cup of buckwheat use two cups of water. When it boils add the buckwheat and simmer it for 15 minutes, you can cook it for more if you want. I like to eat them with chopped dates.

>>21641262Your recipe is too complex and long. I need super easy.>- 6 cups chicken stock or water + chicken bouillonThis is not vegan.
>>21642458>Broth is not vegan.vegetable broth is vegan thoughbeitare you retarded, ESL, or both?
>>21641225Rick Stein did a great lentil dish, quite heavy on the garlic but I remember it tasting amazing.Vidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6s7Jt8IckU
>>21642458>I boil but I don't like the taste, it's bland, like nothing.That's what seasoning is for
it's just another garbage thread where op asks for something and then tells everyone they're wrong and that's not what he asked for. obviously you could substitute chicken stock for vegan vegetable stock you fucking retard.
>>21642458>how to make lentil soup>broth isn't veganyou might be the dumbest motherfucker I've heard/read from this month so far, congrats!
>>21641743I think it's acidity that stops them cooking properly. It makes the skins contract or something and they take hours to become tender. salted water is fine
>>21642981The acidity prevents the breakdown of pectin, which is what makes the cell walls rigid.
>>21641225sausage, tomatoes, lentils, kale or other greens towards end of cooking for about 40+ mins.maybe over rice or potatoes
>>21641263I soak lentils for 10 hours and sprout. But I don't like the taste anymore. I eat everyday. Don't like.What to add to lentils to like the taste?
>>21643574BBQ sauce and fried onions is good.Or any salad dressing, like creamy italian or russian.I also like mixing lentils into mac & cheese with a drizzle of sriracha.
You can't escape the brap
>>21643574>What to add to lentils to like the taste?Whatever seasoning you like the taste of
>>21641726>>21642471Hmm I’ll have to try this. The one time I made buckwheat I just boiled it by itself and it was great hot but then disgusting once it cooled down. Was sad because it’s surprisingly easy to grow
>>21641563If you’re making vegan lentils, you will need a hearty vegetable stock to give the lentils some body. You’ll need onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and whatever spices you want present. You can also add some dried mushrooms to your stock to provide even more richness.
>>21641225>lentils in pot, add water until you have ~1" between lentils and water line >bring to a boil, then drain and refresh with cold water, then drain again>return to pot with stock and spices this time, plus olive oil to help lubricate if you prefer>bring just to a boil, then simmer for 15-30 minutes until the texture is how you like it or a smidge firmer >drain, then cool in a tray so they don't carry over too much, mixing a bit to cool evenly if needed >pair with some rice (preferably also cooked with stock) and a couple of poached eggs or some stewed/braised fatty meat
>>21641339Your recipe is too complex and long. Also, chicken stock is not vegan.
>>21645639no one cares about vegans. eat a steak
>>21641491>Dal tadka is deliciousWhat is Dal tadka?>>21641578What is vegetable stock? Is it made of chemicals?
>>21646464Hindu beans and rice
youse guys should make a lentil consortium to address all your and the board's lentil needs
>>21641262Thyme goes so well with lentils. Back when our plants still lived, I used to throw in whole sprigs and then fish them out at the end of the boil.
>>21646492>Back when our plants still lived we systematically killed them
>>21641726>Properly cooking buckwheat groats takes 1.5h.No, it takes 15 minutes of boiling.>Buckwheat pairs best with braised meat, ideally game or beef, braised wildboar with buckwheat groats is a real treat.Meat is not vegan.
>>21641779I know this, but what to do with lentils to make the taste good? What seasoning or soup?
