Marrakesh Rice And Lentil Soup (Morocco)

Directions

1. Lentils don't require soaking; and we usually sort and wash them before using them. If they are soaked, we can cut the cooking time by half.
2. In a saucepan, place the lentils and their soaking water, extra virgin olive oil, coriander leaves, and paprika. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25 min; then add in the remaining ingredients except the flour mix and lemon juice and cook for a further 20 min or possibly till the rice grains are tender but still whole.
3. Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the flour paste and lemon juice.
4. Return to the heat and bring to a boil. Serve immediately.
