Ramadan Recipe: Lentil Soup

Here’s a new recipe from The Medley Restaurant, Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre, for Ramadan. The lentil soup is filling and flavourful, yet light and easy to break the fast.

Preparation

Method

1. In a medium-sized pot, place oil and garlic, slowly bring oil to temperature gently browning the garlic cloves.  
2. Add onion, carrot, celery, tomato and half the amount of salt. 
3. Slowly stir the vegetables on low heat to let all the juice slowly come out.   
4. When vegetables start to brown add the lentils and stir as it absorbs all the liquid in the pan.  
5. When lentils are nicely coated with the oil add stock and cover.  
6. Let soup cook until the lentils are soft. Stir until smooth, add cumin, pepper and season with remaining salt.  
7. Add fresh lemon wedge before serving.
