What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?
I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.
Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some information
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenteja_pardina
Fry onions, garlic, chorizo and tomato with olive oil
Add water, lentils, potatoes, bay leaf and salt.
Cook in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes.
I don’t know why it’s preferred to use this type. Some ancient Spanish knowledge I guess.
