Add rinsed lentils and water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 20-25 mins until tender and water is mostly evaporated.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season well with kosher salt. Place the bean in the boiling water for a couple of minutes and then remove and place into a bowl of ice water.
