We used beluga lentils, because they hold their shape better than <a href='brown_lentils.html'>brown lentils</a>.</p><p>Beets make any dish beautiful, but it can stain your skin. Not to worry though, it doesn't stay, you'll just look like you've just killed something.</p><p>Fresh mint is key in this recipe, don't omit it. If you have a fresh supply at home, that is perfect, otherwise store-bought stalks are fine. You can keep store-bought stalks longer if you do these simple steps: first, tear off any wilted leaves, wash the mint gently, and then put the stalks in a glass with a bit of water and a bag over the top. Then, store it in a cool space.</p></div><dl class='ingredients'><h3>lentils</h3><dt><a href='beluga_lentils.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/beluga_lentils.png'/><b>beluga lentils</b></a><u>115 g</u></dt><dt><a href='vegetable_bouillon.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/vegetable_bouillon.png'/><b>vegetable bouillon</b></a><u>375 ml</u></dt></dl><ul class='instructions'><li>Wash <i>115g (1/2 cup)</i> of dry <a href='beluga_lentils.html'>beluga lentils</a>.
