This is a wonderful recipe submission from Louma’s kitchen in Austrailia. Louma is of Iraqi descent this family dish goes back many generations.
If you need a little “healing” please try Louma’s lentil soup! (Thanks Louma and Tammy!)
Ingredients:
1 cup red lentils (dried and split)
1/2 cup fine “spaghetti” (thread thin cooking pasta or egg noodles)
1 onion chopped
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon curry
Preparation:
Fill a medium saucepan with 6 cups water.
Put in the lentils straight away and boil on low fire
When there is white foam on the surface make sure to remove it (with a spoon)
Now it’s time to finely chop up the onion and fry in a pan with the curry
Then add the onion to the lentils together with the crushed cooking pasta
Add another 2 cups of water and leave to slowly boil for aprox 10-15 minutes
When the lentils are soft add the salt, stir and now the soup is ready
Serve hot with bread rolls and butter, or cheese
Enjoy!
