Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups red lentils
1/4 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup peeled, finely diced tomato
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
9 cups chicken or vegetable stock or water
Salt to taste
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped mint
2 cups plain toasted bread cubes
Lemon wedges
Plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Place the lentils and rice in a sieve, rinse well and allow to drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy four-quart saucepan. Add the onion, and saute until soft but not brown. Stir in the tomato paste, tomato, paprika and cayenne pepper. Add the lentils, rice and stock. Stir well, and simmer, covered, 30 minutes, until the rice is cooked and the lentils have virtually dissolved into a puree. Stir from time to time.
  • Add salt to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a little water.
  • Serve each portion sprinkled with mint leaves and croutons, with lemon wedges and yogurt on the side.
