Stuffing recipes with peas, lentils and beans

Red lentil soup with crunchy lemon and coconut leaves

  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 15g ghee (refined butter instead)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
  • Half a teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Half a teaspoon of ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon yellow Indian curry powder
  • 200-250ml gluten-free vegetable broth (alternatively instant broth)
  • A small can of coconut milk (200 ml).
  • 125 grams red lentils
  • 1-2 lemon kaffir leaves
  • 15 grams of tomato paste
  • salt
  • Black pepper from the grinder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander
  • 3 teaspoons grated coconut
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

To prepare the soup, peel the onions and garlic and chop finely. Melt the ghee in a saucepan and fry the onions over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and saute for 2-3 minutes.

Add cumin, coriander, turmeric and curry powder and saute for 30 seconds. Add 200 ml of vegetable broth, add coconut milk, lentils and kaffir lime leaves, and simmer for 40 minutes until the lentils are cooked.

Meanwhile, toast the shredded coconut in a small non-stick skillet without adding any fat. Then sprinkle over the sugar and caramelize over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Place on butter paper and leave to cool.

Stir tomato paste into lentil soup and season with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick, add the rest of the vegetable broth or a little water. Remove from heat and strain with lemon juice. Finally, remove the lemon leaves and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Gently crush the coconut crunch. Pour lentil soup into two or two deep bowls, sprinkle with crunchy coconut and serve hot.
