    Meanwhile, place lentils in a pot with veggie stock concentrate and enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook ⏱️ 20 minutes until tender. Drain and season with salt and pepper. Add more water if necessary. Love cooking lentils but hate the wait? We use French lentils, which cook in half the time! Be sure to only salt them towards the end of cooking, otherwise they will take all night!
