I recently discovered beluga lentils in an organic food shop and couldn’t resist buying a pack.<\/p>\n
They are black, round and resemble beluga caviar. That is where they got their name from. <\/p>\n
Beluga lentils cook quickly (approx. 20 minutes) and hold their shape well during cooking, unlike other lentils that tend to become mushy. Therefore they are perfect for salads.<\/p>\n
They have a nutty aroma, compareable with chestnuts. This makes them a perfect partner for roasted butternut squash. <\/p>\n
Here is a recipe for a lovely salad that is yummy, light, healthy, easy and fast to make.<\/p>\n
And here we go:<\/p>\n
