1.- Soak them in four parts water to one part legume with a pinch of salt and some drops of lemon juice. Change the water once or twice. Lentils require 12 hours soaking, chick peas and beans need 24 hours.

2.- Cook slowly in water for 15-20 minutes for lentils or 1 hour for chick peas and beans.

3.- Add herbs or vegetables with digestive properties: two sage leaves or some slices of fresh fennel during the cooking.
