If you eat lots of lentils, consider cooking a large batch of dried lentils ahead of time to save money and to decrease your sodium intake (canned lentils tend to have a high sodium content). Small green lentils will take 20 minutes to cook from boiling, while brown or large green lentils will take 30 minutes. Once cooked, drain, then toss with a little olive oil. Cool, then portion into small freezer bags. Defrost in the fridge before using.
