A cooking lesson
I made this recipe tonight. Halfway into it I discovered the can of brown lentils I thought I had in the cupboard had mysteriously disappeared. I’m sure I used it at some point or it’s really hidden under all the dried fruit I have next to my canned goods for some reason.
Alas, all I had was dry red lentils, so I cooked some up and substituted them. Error! So mushy! Everything still smelled delicious, but the texture of the meatballs is just not good enough to live up to the rest of the recipe.
Lesson learned. Not all lentils are created equal. Who knew?
