They’re inexpensive, versatile, and can be stored for up to a year, this makes them a great pantry must-have. Because lentils are so small and cook quickly, you do not need to soak them first.

How to cook Jerk Lentils?

When it comes to cooking lentils on the stovetop go for green lentils, Lentils de Puy, brown lentils, or black lentils. For this recipe, we went with brown lentils.

• Rinse the lentils in a fine-mesh sieve under the faucet. While rinsing, make sure to pick out any bad lentils, debris, or small stones which can sometimes sneak in.
• Chop up onions, sweet pepper, scallion, grape tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and thyme
• To a deep pot add olive and all the ingredients chopped up

• Add to your chopped vegetables jerk seasoning(use mild or hot to your preference), complete seasoning, Adobo. Then add your lentils to the pot

• After you add the lentils add water, salt, and jerk seasoning and boil until the water is almost gone

• When the water is dried out add your carrots and some water, complete seasoning, black pepper, and jerk powder (optional at this point), and boil until lentils are soft to your liking.

• And that’s it you done it’s that easy and it’s will be just as delicious!! Serve this with Easily The Best Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Garlic Butter Shrimp Rasta Pasta and The Best Jamaican Honey Jerk Salmon Rasta Pasta Recipe
