Trinity Mix - Cooking instructions

Our cooking process is designed for convenience—simple steps across all products, with only slight variations. Here’s how to prepare the Trinity Mix:

1. Sauté the Base:

Heat your favorite oil, butter, or ghee in a deep pot. Sauté one medium or large tomato until soft and mushy.

2. Add the Lentil Mix:

Pour the contents of The Lentil Hub jar into the tomato base. Sauté on low to medium heat for 2–3 minutes to gently roast the spices and unlock their aroma.

3. Add Water & Cook:

Use the empty jar to measure water (see chart below). Start with the lower end of the suggested water amount and add more if needed. Cover and cook (medium-high heat works well) until the lentils are soft & well-blended. Give it a taste and add more salt if desired.

Tip: 

Add more water and simmer longer to adjust to your preferred consistency. Optionally, garnish with fresh lime juice or a touch of butter if desired.

Cooking method*	Time	Water
Pressure/rice cooker	15-20 mins	2.5-3.5 jars
Lidded pot/sauce pan etc.	25-35 mins	3-4 jars

 

Note: For your first time, we recommend cooking the whole jar—it makes 5/6 servings and keeps in the fridge for up to a week or can be frozen. You can also cook in 2 portions—just shake the jar well to evenly distribute spices and reduce water accordingly. A 5-6 Quart pot works well for the cooking the whole jar.
