Instructions

  1. Combine the lentils, water, and salt in a large pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook until the lentils are very soft and the water has absorbed, about 40 minutes.
  2. Add the cooked lentils and all the remaining ingredients to a large food processor and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  3. DEVOUR.
