Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Oh Sue, I'm queen of kitchen disasters. Listen get a new batch of lentils from another store. It really is a delicious recipe and I think those lentils were old or who knows what. Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile Sue Ruger <kup Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:02:44 Re: Pete and Donna, Lentil Loaf I probably didn't cook them long enough. That's all I can figure out. And it didn't have a nutty flavor, the lentils were hard. I will try it again. It was one of those kitchen disasters. But, my husband is very forging. He ate the mashed potatoes and gravy and the broccoli. LOL sue Donnalilacflower wrote: > > > I have made this recipe probably 50 times. Did you cook the lentols > long enough?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 That's possible as they had been in my cupboard for a long time. But I still think I didn't cook them long enough. How long should they be cooked? sue thelilacflower wrote: > > > Oh Sue, I'm queen of kitchen disasters. Listen get a new batch of > lentils from another store.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Most brown lentil cook up in about 40 minutes.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'd say they should be done within 40 mins or so. Test them to make sure, I've had some cook faster and some take an hour.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I followed the recipe for 30 minutes. And I questioned myself (I will listen to myself next time, LOL) about the still hard little round pellets. I guess I thought adding a cup of water to the mixture would help cook them longer in the oven. DUH! Anyway, went to the store today to pick up odds and ends (salad fixin's) and there were no lentils. Guess I wasn't meant to make that again any time soon. sue thelilacflower wrote: > > > I'd say they should be done within 40 mins or so.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I get lentils bulk from Whole Foods and they cook in 30 mins. Sometimes they require a little more water. Taste them or mash up a few to see if they are done in 30 mins. Often they take 40 mins but I've had some still rather hard after an hour of cooking. Donna Rainy day mushroom pillow, colors green, brown and yellow. Wonder if they'll turn back ever, contemplating what together, poison dreams, assorted dreams, mushroom dreams.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I love going to Whole Foods, but it's a couple hours away near Atlanta and terrible traffic. I am waiting for them to open a store in Gainesville. I even suggested it. There are all kinds of food I would like to buy bulk. sue Donnalilacflower wrote: > > > I get lentils bulk from Whole Foods and they cook in 30 mins. Sometimes > they require a little more water.
