Beluga Lentil update!

At the risk of losing my source of inexpensive beluga lentils, I want you to know that the Grocery Outlet at 130th and Aurora has them for 3 cans for a dollar.That is an amazing price. they are usually well over 2 dollars a can at the regular market.
Stock up!

Black Beluga Lentils look like caviar! They are delicious as a side dish and are excellent in soups and salads. They are unique and hold their small round shape.

This is a cold salad made with the lentils. I roasted some corn on the BBQ, added some red peppers, onions, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, garlic, coriander and mixed it all up. got rave reviews- the hostess at the party I took it to kept the leftovers.
