Directions
Roasted Red Lentil Soup,This lentil soup is done in more of an Asian style than some of the others. Goes well with chapatis or pooris and a light salad. Recipe by Nancie McDermott.,I like to experiment with spices and try recipes that combine flavors differently than what I’m use to. I love making the wonderful Southern food my mom made while I was growing up. So when I wanted to spice up dinner I asked people who grew up in different cultures how their mother made her favorite dish. This recipe has the same flair as ones given to me by friends from India and Morocco. Lentils are healthy, cheap, and cook quickly. The spices in this dish make them a real taste treat. I couldn’t remember the name of this recipe. It’s so good I searched online for 2 hours trying to find it. Thank goodness a friend I gave it to sent me a copy. They told me they make it often. Thank you for posting this. We really enjoy it.,Outstanding introduction to lentils for my young boys! Although it wasn’t thier “favorite” it was a hit! Delicious flavor, subtle yet aromatic. I did add heapping measureings. Thanks Sue, it’s great!
