Lentil Soup

Ingredients
1 medium yellow onion
1 fennel bulb
2 large carrots
1 clove garlic
¼ cup olive oil
1 ½ cups dry brown or green lentils
28-ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 quart vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 cups baby spinach (or chopped standard spinach)


Instructions:

Dice the onion. Dice the fennel. Peel and dice the carrots. Grate the garlic and set aside to stir in once the soup is cooked.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes until translucent. Add the carrots, lentils, tomatoes, broth, water, salt, paprika, and oregano. [My note: I actually add onion etc with the water, since it boils and cooks, instead of frying it first which might overcook it. And I don't add all that oil.]

Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 22 to 25 minutes until the lentils are tender [if they are pink or red lentils], stirring occasionally. [My note: brown and green lentils take 45 minutes to cook. Buy the time they finish cooking, the water is a perfect consistency, not too liquidy.]

Stir in the spinach and grated garlic, and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Taste and season with additional salt and fresh ground pepper as necessary. Serve immediately. Stores refrigerated for up to 4 days and frozen for 3 to 4 months.

[My note: This freezes perfectly! I take it out, reheat, and the texture and taste is exactly as it was fresh.]

"High Priestess Lydia, our most beautiful sister."

Beautiful meant in a Spiritual way. This is the way that the words appeared in my mind.

Lentil can be my favorite hot soup.

a quick and easy soup i make is chicken powdered stock with some eggs beatup into the stock once its boiling, i like to add some powdered cheese and sriracha to the eggs as well, its really nice in colder weather days, its not the healthiest meal but for something quick and easy its very tasty.

Are u Turkish? If u are, I wonder if u know what Kashk, kishk or qurt means, if u know that I can recommend u to try that with bitter chocolate, it's perfect balance of salt dry milk and bitterness of chocolate and a bit sweet

It's recommended to soak the lentils in water for 3 or 4 hours before cooking them. You'll know they're ready when they've increased in size as they absorb the water.
In my country, it's typical to add some kind of meat like ham or chorizo.

Greetings to You, My Zevic Siblings.

First of all, I would like to thank our High Priestess Lydia for creating this thread. I've been dreaming of a thread where recipes could be shared for a long time, and I'm happy that this dream has come true.

I will also be sharing my previously shared recipes here again.

Today, I will share with you the recipe for pepeçura, a geographically protected dessert from Rize, Türkiye, which I previously made in my faculty's kitchen. However, instead of the recipe given to me by my professor, I will share a more traditional recipe. Since this recipe requires the use of natural grape juice, I will explain how to obtain it.

Pepeçura

Ingredients:
1 liter black grape juice.
1 cup granulated sugar.
2 tablespoons finely sifted corn flour.

Preparation:
1) Add granulated sugar and corn flour to the grape juice and boil while stirring constantly.
2) As soon as the mixture thickens and becomes concentrated, remove from the heat and portion into suitable bowls.
3) After the bowls and mixture have cooled slightly, the desserts are placed in the refrigerator and served after chilling for 3 hours.

How to make black grape juice?

Ingredients:

2 kilos of black grapes.

Preparation:

1) First, rinse the grapes in water and place them in a pot with their stems.

2) Mash them thoroughly using a potato masher.

3) Boil them with the pulp for 15 minutes over low heat.

4) Strain the boiled mixture through a sieve.

5) And bravo, you have obtained grape juice. You can consume it as a drink or make pepeçura .

Enjoy your meal.

Good Night.
