Ingredients
- Red Lentils 250 g
- 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
- 2 Carrots, finely chopped
- 100g Cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 leek, thinly sliced
- 2 Small potatoes, finely chopped
- Turmeric 1 tsp
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tomato
- 1 tbs ground ginger
- 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbs fresh parley or coriander
Method
Pour the washed red lentils and all the ingredients in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat and cover them with water, add salt and 1 tbs of olive oil.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer, covered, until the lentils begin to fall apart, about 30 minutes. Lentils must become soft, almost a cream. If needed, during cooking, add more hot water.
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve with toppings if desired.
ENJOY!
