The Benefits of Red Lentils
Red lentils, like other types of lentils, are very nutritious. They are packed with B vitamins and potassium. In addition to being fat free and low calorie, red lentils are also a great source of protein for vegetarians and vegans, and they are also high in fibre. Lentils are very easy to cook and are usually ready within 20 to 30 minutes.
How to Make Red Lentil Soup?
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté onion until golden.
- Add in tomato paste and cook for a minute. Add in chopped carrots and potato, and cook for a few minutes.
- Next, add the red lentils and spices. Stir well and add water.
- Bring to a simmer and cook covered for about 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes until the lentils and vegetables are fully cooked.
- Blend the soup using a blender or an immersion blender.
- Serve with some freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Tips for Serving Lentil Soup
- Rinse the lentils in a sieve under running water.
- Add a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or mint.
- Add a spoonful of chili oil or chili butter (in a small pot, melt a few tablespoons of butter or olive oil over medium-low heat and add Aksoy Turkish Sweet Pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.)
What Is the Difference Between Whole Red Lentils and Split Red Lentils?
Because they are split, split lentils cook much faster than whole lentils and tend to work better in dishes like soups, curries, and purees, as they give a thicker texture. Whole lentils tend to work better in salads or side dishes.
