Organic Black Beluga Lentils from Laraska. Organically grown, harvested and dried in Canada. Packed in the UK. Black beluga lentils – named for their striking resemblance to the finest variety of caviar – boast a flavour that is both richer and earthier than other lentil varieties, and cook in only about 20 minutes. They hold their shape better than brown or red lentils, which allows them to be integrated into to a wider range of dishes, adding a dramatic dash of exotic black to almost any culinary creation. USES: Laraska's organic lack beluga lentils can be used in an incredibly wide range of dishes, from salads, sides, stews, soups, ragouts, dips and much else besides. They take less time to cook than green lentils, yet hold their shape just as well, which makes them a natural for serving either as a mainstay dish or for including in other dishes as a striking, flavoursome addition. Try black beluga lentils as a bed for fish, spiced as a side dish with yoghurt and mint, as the star attraction in vegetarian shepherd’s pie, as the main ingredient in fritters or burgers, sprinkled over salads and other dishes, and in myriad other ways (marinating black beluga lentils ahead of cooking is one sure-fire way to tap their full flavour potential).
