Cook the Lentils
Rinse the green lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water and let them cool.
