Tender and Flavorful Lentils (in the Instant Pot)

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup lentils
• 3 cups water

  or broth
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp black pepper
• salt

  to taste

Instructions

• 1 Add all ingredients to your pressure cooker or Instant Pot and stir. Put the lid
  on, seal it, and set to 'manual' (high pressure) for 9 minutes. Your pressure
  cooker will take about 5 minutes to come up to temperature before it begins
  counting down.
• 2 Once the timer goes off, let the pressure cooker "natural release" (i.e. leave
  it alone) for 15 minutes. Do a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
• 3 Strain and serve! These lentils can be a yummy side dish or an addition to a
  recipe. (Toss them into a salad, mix them into recipes with ground meat, or add
  them to soup for some extra protein and fiber.)
