Anyone here cook these before? My plan was to make lentils with kielbasa. I
placed an order from PCC and these were the cheapest lentils they had. They
are smaller than regular lentils.

I see recipes online that call for vegetable broth/stock, onion, red or
white wine, carrots, even a potato. Also various seasonings, one of which is
smoked paprika. That's out as I only have sweet Hungarian. Have also seen
just to boil in water and drain but that seems a little boring.

I am concerned now though. Would the taste be enough different than regular
lentils to where they wouldn't work with kielbasa? I also have some smoked
pork chops if those would be better. If the kielbasa would work, how would
you do it? Cut in chunks, slice, mix with lentils or serve on the side?

YES! It's all good. Everything you put in, everything you do differently while cooking it will affect the flavors slightly to drastically. Be careFUL and all will BE GOOD and delicious!

Namaste!

I'm not familiar with Spanish lentils but how different could they be?
(Google wasn't very helpful in that regard.) I'd cut the kielbasa into
coins and add to the lentils right from the start. Use whatever
broth/stock you'd like.

Don't know if she means red lentils, which pretty much cook to a
mush; or green lentils, which retain their shape when cooked.

If I'm making soup I use red lentils,
for a lentil side dish I use green.

These are neither red not green. More of a brown and it says they do retain
their shape.

The only ones I find are green (they sort of look brown) and no country
of origin specified. Lentils don't take long to cook, that's for sure.
And the kielbasa is already cooked so it just needs to be added and
heated through.

Can you provide a link, or at least tell us what PCC stands for?

Thanks. That's a good guess.

Looks like "Spanish Pardina Brown Lentils", then.

Googling for that yields a wealth of information about them.

These are much smaller than regular lentils. Took 40 minutes to cook.
Perhaps because of the tomatoes in there. I think I forgot to mention the
can of chopped tomatoes when I replied to your dinner post.

Thanks Bruce! You'd like them. Lots of organic stuff. Produce and meat are
always excellent. Okay, you wouldn't care about the meat but everything is
good!

Spanish Lentils is a recipe, like Spanish Rice, not a type of lentil.
https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Spanish-Lentils
Spanish Lentils is made with ordinary brown lentils:

Nope. It's a type of lentil.
