- STORING COOKED LEGUMES. Most
legumes, once cooked, will keep from
three days to one week in the
refrigerator and up to three months in the
freezer. The beauty of cooking beans and
lentils is that they freeze incredibly well. - REHEATING LEGUMES. You can
reheat beans and lentils in the
microwave. I prefer the stove. As they
sit in the refrigerator or freezer, they
soak up more liquid and will seem to
dry out a bit. Just add a little water and
heat them slowly, on a low flame. If you
add more water, add a little salt to
compensate for the lost flavor.
USING CANNED VARIETIES. This is a
definite time saver. I do use canned
