Generally speaking, green lentils take around 20-40 minutes to cook on the stovetop. But, if you're using a pressure cooker, you can slash that time in half - we're talking 10-15 minutes! It's like magic, right?
Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that lentils have been around for over 10,000 years? They're one of the oldest domesticated crops on the planet! No wonder they're a staple in so many cuisines around the world.
But, back to cooking time. If you're using a crock pot or slow cooker, you can expect to wait around 4-6 hours for your lentils to be tender. Yep, it's a long haul, but trust us, it's worth it!
