RED LENTIL AND BULGUR SOUP
This fantastic one-pot recipe is easy and filling. Don't skip the blender step - adding the puree back to the pot with the remaining lentils and bulgur creates a to-die-for combination texture that's both al dente and creamy smooth. Great for a casual home cooked meal but good enough to serve to guests! It's even a hit with kids and people sensitive to spicy foods - just be sure to leave out the cayenne.

BULGUR & RED LENTIL SOUP.
Steps:
- Combine the lentils and bulgur in a large pot with the stock or water. Bring to a simmer, skimming any foam. Cover and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the lentils have completely broken down and the bulgur is quite soft, about 40 minutes. In a small skillet, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onions, cover and sweat until the onions are soft and have released their moisture, 5 to 10 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium. Cook until the moisture evaporates, then add the cumin, red pepper and mint. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute to draw the fragrance out of the spices, then stir this mixture into the soup. Season to taste with salt. Accompany each portion with a lemon wedge so diners can add lemon juice to taste.
