🧂 Ingredients

1 cup brown lentils
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 The cooking time for lentils can vary based on type and on elevation. You might
find that your cook time is not the same as mine and some experimentation might
be necessary to get the right consistency.
2 Add the lentils and water to the pot. Close and lock the lid.
3 Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow for a 10-minute natural pressure
release then release remaining pressure. Check the doneness. If it’s not done
enough for you, put it back on for 2-4 more minutes.
4 Add salt to the pot and stir. Flavor with any additional spices you prefer.
