The Best Lentils in the World in a Pressure Cooker
Laura Garcia Herrero @laugherrero
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by sautéing the chopped onion and garlic in the pot
- 2
Add the paprika and sauté with the onion and garlic
- 3
Add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce
- 4
Remove the pot from the heat and add the lentils with the water (I pre-boiled it to speed things up) covering about 2 inches above
- 5
If you want more broth, add more water
- 6
Add the chopped potatoes and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything and close the pressure cooker
- 7
Turn the heat to high until it starts to boil, then reduce to medium heat for 20 minutes
- 8
For best results, let the steam release naturally. If you're in a hurry, you can open it and force the steam out; they'll still taste good, though there's a noticeable difference

Lentil & potato pressure cooker vegetable soup Lentil & potato pressure cooker vegetable soup
Twas the night before payday, and all through the kitchen, not a meal was in sight, not even leftovers.So I pulled this together with odds and ends. It was way better than I expected. You could probably sub in any veggies you have laying around, or any starch (rice or barley or pasta) instead of lentils and potatoes. That's what's so awesome about soup.Note that I only had about a quarter cup of lentils to use and most of those sunk to the bottom. I'd have used a full cup if I had it, your soup will have more lentils than the picture shows.

Stewed Lentils in a Crockpot Slow Cooker Stewed Lentils in a Crockpot Slow Cooker
I've been experimenting with the slow cooker and trying different traditional dishes to see if, as they say, these types of pots and long-duration cooking make them taste better. I can confirm that cooking at low temperatures preserves the quality of the ingredients better and, by needing less water and salt, it concentrates the flavors much more. This time, I tried cooking on high for 4 hours, and they turned out delicious. The main difference when cooking on high is that it reaches 212°F (100°C) faster, which shortens the cooking time. Otherwise, the result is delicious. Have a great day!

Lentil Soup In Instant Pot! Lentil Soup In Instant Pot!
My first attempt and turned out great. I did not measure anything, as usual, but I tried to include measurements here. I didn't have any carrots. But about 3 good sized carrots chopped nicely would do. Or some frozen. I just used ingredients I had on hand. Do as you like. Throw in what you please. This soup amazed me. So happy to share this. Bless.
