What it is
Whole green lentils — the most versatile of the lentil family because, unlike red lentils, they keep their shape rather than collapsing. Mild earthy flavour, satisfying chew, and serious plant protein at 20 g per 100 g dry — among the highest of any grain or legume on a kitchen shelf.
Lentils have a long history in Russian and Eastern European cooking — the lenten чечевичная похлёбка stew goes back centuries. Packed by Uvelka in five food-grade boil-in-bag pouches, each one a generous portion: drop into salted boiling water, walk away, lift out when done.
How to cook
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil — at least 1 litre per bag. Drop in 1 or 2 bags and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Lift each bag out by the paper tab, snip the corner with scissors, and tip the cooked lentils into a bowl. Then:
- Salad: dress warm with olive oil, sherry vinegar, chopped shallot and parsley.
- Side: warm in butter with garlic, cumin and lemon zest; serve with grilled meat or roast vegetables.
- Soup: tip into stock with sweated onion, carrot, celery, a bay leaf and a spoon of tomato paste.
