Lentil Soup
2 cups red lentils
8 cups water
1 large onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 heaped teaspoon salt
• Rinse the lentils for about two minutes under cold running water to remove any excess dirt and starch.
• Place the lentils and onion in a medium sized pot and fill with the water.
• Boil for 10-15 minutes until it becomes a thick puree.
• Collect the white foam forming on top while boiling. This foam gives the soup a greyish colour and makes it harder to digest.
• To make the meyane (roux), melt the butter in a pan and add the flour.
• Cook for a couple of minutes until it smells like roasted nuts and becomes brown.
• Pour in the chicken stock into the pan and whisk constantly.
• Add the mixture to the soup and season with the salt.
• Lastly, blend the soup with an immersion blender till the texture becomes creamy and smooth.
• Your velvety lentil soup is ready, and it is such a good base that you can top with many things and turn the soup into an incredible meal.
• For the classical one, top with red pepper flakes and squeeze some lemon. In Cyprus, it is common -and delicious- to add black olives to soup and adding croutons is always a good idea. You can always sprinkle some roasted kadayif instead of croutons. If you want your soup as a main course, top with some meatballs, red beans, and coriander. For a lighter version, salad, croutons, and some sesame seeds would be great! Finally, Bahar’s favourite – yogurt, black pepper, red pepper, olives and parsley.
Ezogelin Soup
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 potato, peeled and roughly chopped
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste, use 200 ml tomato puree or passata if you don’t have paste
1 tablespoon red pepper paste, dried pepper would do good as well
1 cup red lentil, washed and rinsed
½ cup chicken stock, skip if you are a vegetarian
1,5 L water, (6 cups)
100 g bulgur, (around ½ cup) medium or coarsely ground are better but all would work great
1 heaped teaspoon salt
1 heaped teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 teaspoons dry mint
1 tablespoon butter
• Heat a pressure cooker on high heat.
• Melt the butter and olive oil and add the onion, potato, and carrot when the oil is hot.
• Add the tomato and pepper paste and sauté for a minute.
• Add the lentil and bulgur pour the chicken stock and 1,5 L water.
• Close the lid and set the pressure setting to high. When the lid is tight and the pressure is enough to cook, place the pressure cooker on a small burner on low heat. Cook for 15 minutes.
• If using a regular pot, cook around 20 -25 minutes with lid on until all veggies are softened.
• At the end of 15 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pressure of the pot and open the lid.
• After all ingredients are cooked, blend the soup with an immersion blender until it is smooth.
• To season, add the salt, red pepper flakes, dry mint and black pepper.
• Finally add some butter for a shiny and creamy texture and let it simmer.
