Good article, thanks for posting.
I had heard that Canada was a lentil powerhouse, so I set about finding a supply of black beluga lentils locally. (These are like the French ‘lentils de puy’ that stay whole when cooked and have a great texture - quite expensive when imported from France.) I found a shop in a farming community about an hour away, but when I got there I found I was buying their last 2 bags, and that they had discontinued that product. I’m stocked up now but don’t know if I’ll be able to get them again, despite being next door to Saskatchewan here in Alberta.
It’s a great example of the importance of supply chains - abundant resource relatively nearby, but largely unavailable nevertheless.
Black lentils are great, I call them vegan caviar. I usually stew them with some veggies and spices plus a bit of nutritional yeast and eat them on toast. Highly recommended.
Most people use sous vide for meat but it does an amazing job with lentils. You can get a great caviar like texture with it.
Ive never thought of doing sous vide lentils. If I ever end up with sous vide equipment ill give it a try.
If you want a tasty vegan dinner meal that uses lentils, you should try this.
OMfoods sells them
