Tips

*Lentil Puree: Place cooked lentils into the bowl of a food processor.  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 a refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
