Black lentils are also known as beluga lentils. I made these in my crockpot pressure cooker.

I just added 2 cups of black lentils, 5 cups of chicken stock, some pink Himalayan sea salt, and some garlic powder. Then I turned on the crockpot and they’re actually is a bean button which takes about 15 minutes. Came out great and so easy.

I have a very large crockpot it’s electronic I think it’s 6 quarts I bought it at target along time ago but Amazon sells it as well for about $99. I buy the black lentils on Amazon I used to be able to find them at Whole Foods but not anymore.

Since so many people always ask me, they do taste a little bit different than regular lentils but I don’t know how to explain the taste difference.
