Lentils

[Lunaberry]

Probably a silly question from an over anxious first time Mum but isit best to use tinned lentils or the dry ones you have to soak first for my 7 month old?
Also when Ive made the meal with them can I freeze the rest? Thanks x

I cook with lentils quite a lot and I use the dry ones and I don't soak them.

I buy the puy ones from Merchant Gourmet that come in a pouch - you microwave them for a minute or so. Like microwaveable rice. Yum

I don't soak my lentils either but done require cooking for a while

Thanks everyone. So just those that come dry and in the packs like rice? And I can freeze them after?

Generally I open the microwave packs if its just me and take half out to freeze then microwave the other half.

I boil red split lentils and found them brilliant for weaning,

Dried ones, add passata, courgettes etc great stuff

[Lunaberry]

Brilliant thank you. Mrsmeercat are they tinned or dry?

Oops sorry just seen you've already said dry!! Do you have to soak them?
