Lentils! Frozen lentils to be exact.

How to Freeze Lentils {and Other Pulses} for Easy Meal Prep

- Cook dried lentils or other pulses according to instructions. Note: I used TruRoots Organic Sprouted Lentils which cook in 6 minutes-how easy is that?! Non-sprouted lentils will take a little longer to cook {20-30 minutes}, and beans and chickpeas will take even longer. To speed up cooking time, you can cook pulses in a pressure cooker. This is a great guide on how to cook pulses from Pulse Canada: Guide to Cooking beans, Chickpeas, Lentils & Peas.
- Drain the cooked lentils/pulses in a colander, and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in your freezer for 3 to 4 hours, then place frozen lentils/pulses in plastic freezer bags or a glass freezer container to store
- Use frozen or defrost in the refrigerator, and drain any additional liquid before using in your recipe.
