Instructions
- 1
Combine the lentils, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a steady simmer and cook, uncovered, until the lentils are completely tender and most of the water has been absorbed, about 20–22 minutes. Drain any remaining liquid and spread the lentils on a baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes.

Transfer the cooled lentils to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until roughly two-thirds of the lentils are broken down into a thick paste, with some whole lentils remaining for texture.
