Red lentils
Red lentils, with their characteristic reddish color, are also known as “Egyptian lentils”, by virtue of their Middle Eastern origin.

Soaking
Rinse the lentils under running water and soak them in cold water for about 2.

Baking
After the soaking time, remove the water and rinse them quickly, then place them in a saucepan with cold water and bring to the heat.

Cook for about 90 minutes (half time for those who use a pressure cooker), then drain and cook them to your liking.
