Inspired by kongjaban, a popular Korean banchan of sweet and salty black soybeans, this dish instead uses black Beluga lentils, which have a remarkable ability to hold their shape, even when fully tender. Braising them in soy sauce and garlic flavors them from the inside out, while the sugar and agave bring an enticing gloss and mild sweetness. French green lentils (like Le Puy) would also work great.<\/p>\n

    Bring 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced<\/strong>, \u00bd cup black beluga lentils, rinsed<\/strong>, 3 Tbsp. soy sauce<\/strong>, and 2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
