lentils: can you store them after soaking them?

[Guest guest]

Note: I posted this on the pecanbread group as well,but need a quickie

answer.

I just soaked a whole bunch of lentils and only need 1 cup in the

recipe I am using. Can I keep the lentils and use them again for

something else? Will they get moldy or anything?

Many thanks,

Why not cook them all and then freeze some of them.

Go ahead and cook them in another pan. Then drain freeze them in one cup

" glops " on a cookie sheet. Pry the globs off and bag them in

the freezer. Then you can just pry a couple glops out when you need them

the next time -- presto, pre-soaked lentils!
