Use

To hide in stews, the organic Beluga lentils are almost too good, but only almost, because of course they also fit in there. The ingredients should not have too strong an aroma of their own in order not to hide the fine taste of the black lentils. Beluga lentils are noble as a salad. Pure, only mixed with a little delicious vinegar and cold-pressed oil, they go just as well with bread as with meat and fish. Rice dishes get a kick because the black pearls form a wonderful contrast to the white grains or the colors of turmeric, chili and curry. Used in soups, Beluga lentils require a slightly longer cooking time to give a pleasant consistency.
