So far, the only lentils I have tried have been the brown ones. For the first time in ages, though, I have found some red lentils, and that has me wondering: what, if any, differences (taste, texture, cooking times, whatever) are there among the different types of lentils?
Most comments that I found on the Internet say that the green lentils have a more peppery flavour, but the comments about red and brown lentils vary from those who say there is no difference to one who said that "red lentils are the chocolate of lentils - not that they taste like chocolate, but they're so much yummier than other types of lentils!"
What are YOUR experiences, opinions and preferences, and do you have any special recipes to recommend for red lentils?
Thanks!
