Are the soaking and cooking instructions for dried peas and lentils the same as for beans?
No, on the whole the cooking process is simpler for peas and lentils. Only chickpeas (garbanzos) need soaking. Place them in cold water for 7-8 hours, then change the water. Fast-boil for 15 minutes and low-boil for 45 minutes.
Neither soaking nor fast-boiling is required for cooking the peas and lentils. They will require only low-boiling for the following times: blue boiler peas for 90 minutes; puy lentils for 30-35 minutes; split green or yellow peas for 25-30 minutes; brown lentils for 20-25 minutes; and split red lentils for 10-15 minutes.
