<p>Named for their resemblance to inky-hued beluga caviar, beluga lentils are plump and toothsome little nuggets with an earthy flavor that hefts up salads and sides. Traditionally when making lentils, you’d sit there stirring and sweating as your lentils cooked for an eternity—but there’s a better way to soften these suckers. Listen up, because this is life-changing for you lentil lovers! By cooking with Joule, you just pop ’em in a jar and within 90 minutes, you end up with lovely legumes to add to any weeknight meal. Serve them as a side with olive oil and herbs or tossed in a salad for some added protein, and enjoy every bite with the freedom that comes from not slaving over a hot stove for good food.</p>
