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

Brilliant thank you. Mrsmeercat are they tinned or dry?

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