Prepare: @green or brown lentils{1.25%cup}, @Kosher salt.

Bring a medium or large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the lentils and a few pinches of salt. Adjust the heat to maintain a decent simmer. Simmer uncovered for ~{8-10%minutes}, or until the lentils are cooked but still have a bite; they should not be soft. Drain in a colander and let rest for a while to dry out.

Once cool, store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
