Spiced Black Lentils with Yogurt and Mint

Aptly named beluga lentils look like little beads of caviar. They cook quickly, and they hold their shape.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Stir coriander, cumin, mustard seeds, and 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and 3 cups broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, adding broth as needed to keep lentils covered, until lentils are soft, 30–40 minutes. Stir in vinegar; season with salt and pepper.

  2. Transfer lentils to a large bowl and top with yogurt. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with oil, and top with mint.

  3. DO AHEAD: Lentils can be cooked 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
