Who knew whizzing it up could make such a difference. It all started with a very simple recipe from home. Onion, olive oil, red lentils, rice, cumin, lemon juice, salt, pepper and water. A simple easy and practical soup. very tast..... until I had a chat with a colleague of mine who was having a very different looking lentil soup. A none news related conversation led to a new recipe of lentil soup... a mix of a Palestinian and Egyptian versions;tomatoes, squash, onion, garlic lentil and rice cooked in water and chicken stock, cumin, salt, lemon juice and black pepper. When rice and lentils cooked, let it cool .. whizz it in a food processor, add chicken stock as necessary and serve with fresh copped parsley. Enjoy!
About Me
- waffalicious
- Cooking relaxes me. I like to use recipes for ideas but I never follow them fully. I grew up with home-cooked Palestinian food all day, every day. Cooking with these flavors keeps me close to home. I like to revise recipes by adding Middle Eastern flavors. Because I have been working in the news business for almost 15 years now, cooking and entertaining have become critical acts of balance to de-stress and relax. There is nothing I enjoy more than cooking for a group of friends and having long dinner parties.
