Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Rinsing helps remove any impurities and excess starch.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Add the chopped yellow onion and carrot to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Aproximativ 7 min.
4
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and ground turmeric, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic or spices.
5
Add the chopped tomato and rinsed red lentils to the pot, stirring to combine with the aromatic vegetables.
Aproximativ 1 min.
6
Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Aproximativ 5 min.
7
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender and have broken down.
Aproximativ 25 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
8
Remove the pot from the heat and, if desired, use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup to your preferred consistency.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: For a smoother soup, blend completely; for a chunkier texture, blend only partially.
9
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The lemon juice brightens the flavors considerably.
10
Serve the hot soup immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
