Thanks to steam and sous vide mode in the Anova Precision Oven, these perfect lentils are truly a set it and forget it dish. No need to watch the stove or worry about overcooking and splitting. This recipe uses a gentle cook to ensure that the lentils are cooked but keep their shape and rigidity, making them perfect for salads or lightly simmering in soups.
