How many servings does this recipe make?

How long should the lentils cook?
Simmer them for about 20 minutes, until tender but not mushy.
Which type of lentils works best?

How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in airtight containers and use them within 1–2 days. Reheat the lentils thoroughly before eating.
