Notes

• If you don’t have a garlic press, you can finely mince the garlic with a knife.
• Make sure to use ordinary brown or green lentils and not the quick-cook ones for this recipe.
• This recipe was developed for a 6-quart/6-liter instant pot.
• The overall time does not include time needed for the pot to come to pressure and release its pressure. Count with extra 22 minutes in this case.
• Extra virgin olive oil can be substituted with cooking olive oil, vegetable oil or sunflower oil.
