Stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside for 10–15 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel.

Combine the rinsed lentils and 2 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 20–22 minutes until the lentils are fully tender and most of the water has been absorbed. Drain any remaining liquid and spread the lentils on a baking sheet to cool for 5 minutes — they should look dry and matte, not wet.
