Doug and I don’t usually shop for groceries at Target Super Stores, but we found ourselves wandering through their grocery aisles before the holidays making note of some rather interesting products. One such item was a pouch of black beluga lentils, already cooked, and according to the microwave instructions on the pouch, ready-to-eat in 90 seconds. We’d never encountered these before, so feeling adventurous, in our cart it went.

At the beginning of the new year, I reorganized my pantry and noticed the black beluga lentil pouch sitting there, begging to be used.
Here’s what I did:
Just so you know: the 2-serving pouch contained more than enough lentils for the soup recipe.

Hello Cooking Friends,
Very interesting, up till now I only know the green, red and brown lentils... the greens I liked most, pity I can't find the Belugatype here! Nice blog, I prepared the Douzma...you showed on youtube, delicious!

Eric,
Welcome to The Armenian Kitchen! We're so glad you stumbled upon us. Are there any Middle Eastern stores in your area? If so, perhaps they carry black beluga lentils.
Found Beluga black lentils at Whole Food Market, Pasadena CA. Raw, uncooked. Will try this week-end the recipe for this gold mine lentils. It is the name of the brand actually. It says it is cultivated in Syria, but was imported from Canada.
Good to know! I'd love to hear how your recipe turns out.
Anyone ever having trouble finding ANY ingredient (such as these lentils) check out kalustyans.com, or visit their store on Lex in NYC. Place is a treasure trove of great stuff.
