A' p-c-a' special

I love to to read the blog of Photo-copy-ann (p-c-a :-) ) - I told her that I had

a very good recipe of turkish red lentilsoup, so here it is :

Kirmizi mercimek çorbasi (rodelinzensoep / red lentil soup)

250 gr of dried red lentils

1 onion / 1 carrot

40 gr of butter

1 l of vegetable stock

500 ml milk

salt / pepper freshly crushed

a pinch of paprikapowder

a pinch of cayenne pepper

1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Give the lentils a cold shower.

Chop the onion and the carrot.

Put in a casserole with the butter and fry.

Throw in the lentils with the vegetable stock and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

Give it a good mix (if whised it can be sieved, but I like it thick).

Pour in the milk and let it cook again. 

Finish it off with salt, pepper, paprika, cayennepepper and the lemon juice !

Enjoy !
