Lentils are among the first pulses humans ever farmed, and unlike the others they need no soaking. They cook slowly, absorbing the tomato rather than floating in it: done right, the result is creamy with the pulses still whole. But enough talking — let's go straight to loading the ingredients into Liffo!
