Marrakesh Rice And Lentil Soup (Morocco)
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. Lentils, soaked overnight in
- 7 c. Water
- 2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c. Finely minced fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 c. Rice, rinsed Salt and pepper
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1 piece chili pwdr
- 2 Tbsp. Flour, dissolved in
- 1/2 c. Water
- 1/4 c. Lemon juice
Directions
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the flour paste and lemon juice.
- Return to the heat and bring to a boil. Serve immediately.
