    Hi, I am making a recipe tomorrow which calls for a 410g can of green lentils. I only have dried lentils verte and I've never cooked with them before. :o How many grams of lentils shall I cook to make the equivalent of a can? Can anyone help please?

    No idea in grams but about a mugful should be the right quantity :)

    A cupful should do it. I just used some dried ones today to make a chicken and lentil stew in the SC. No need to pre-soak either.
    To give you an idea, I used about a good cupful today (maybe 200g) along with an onion, garlic, 3 chicken drumsticks, a large carrot and some spices and stock. Got enough stew to completely fill 2x1litre ice cream tubs for dh work lunches.

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...
