Combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20–22 minutes, until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Drain any excess liquid and transfer the lentils to a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash roughly two-thirds of the lentils, leaving the rest whole for texture.
