Tips

*Lentil Puree: In a food processor, place cooked lentils (or rinsed and drained canned). For every cup (250 mL) of cooked lentils, add 1/4 cup (60 mL) water. Blend until smooth. Lentil puree has a similar consistency to canned pumpkin. Add additional water 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time if more moisture is needed.  Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months
