Salt and pepper, to taste

1 liter (4 cups) water

6- After 30 minutes, taste the sauce and adjust the spices accordingly: salt, pepper, and paprika.
7- Serve hot in a bowl with a piece of bread. Bon Appetit!
The right way to make lentils, almost exactly like the recipe I uploaded to my UA-cam channel. You have to remember to check the lentils for little rocks. Yes, I go through the lentils and make sure that anything that looks like a little rock gets removed. You can spread a small amount of lentils on a white plate and visually inspect them, and then throw them into a large pot in which you will soak the lentils. Don't forget to change the water before you cook the lentils, there will be a lot of "dust" that has to be removed with the original water that you soaked them in.
yes, the rocks... LOL. I actually bought my lentils from a store here in Korea (I live in Seoul) -- NO rocks. it's awesome!
Wow, thanks John
I cooked it in slow cooker and I added some Indian spices turmeric and garam masala and it turned out delicious. I served it hot in the lunch and my mom liked it too much. Thanks.
Hey Alia tomorrow morning I am gonna cook this recipe for my 81 year old mom. I hpoe it will turn out delicious. Love from India.
let me know how it goes!!!
Thank you sooo much for this delicious recipe :)
so glad you liked it!
I love lentils. In Austria, where I grew up, we eat it with chopped-up pickles (mixed in at the end), and I also like to use some the tasty juice from the pickle car for the cooking liquid. It also goes great with a fried egg on top.
nice ideas!
I will definitely add garlic and cumen into it!;) the way my mom use to make it, and I don't think you necessarily need to soak the lentils over night!. also make sure there's no rocks/debris or sticks in before soakin/cleaning it over and over w abundant water until is clean/clear.. but I still love your way/ it so simple and easy
This is similar to Greek style. Absolutely delicious! You can also add chopped carrots and potatoes if you like. Goes great with olives,feta cheese and crusty bread and vinegar
.
This dish is amazing!!!! Love your recipes!!
Forever my favorite way to eat lentils! 😋
تبارك الله عليك وخلاص توحشنا العدس
This looks very similar to greek style lentils. Instead of paprika you use bay leaf and a bit of red vinegar. Yumm
and garlic cloves!
YUM!!!
Lentils are great source of protein. I'll definetely make that soup. Yummy.
let me know how it goes!
cookingwithalia I made it twice. but with the orange lentils. its delicious. I make it really spicy. BTW found your old recipe with orange lentils. Should make it like that. Thank you.
A splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar adds a bit of zest to the soup along side a crusty peasant bread, in winter after any outdoor activity will warm the soul. High in protein, low fat, easy to digest. This is your grandma's food for a low cost meal, peasant food for a peasant people. The height of what comfort food is intended to be.
Delicious. I'm Italian and I make it the same way! I didn't know Moroccans make it like that too :)
that's awesome!! we have a few recipes in Morocco similar to italy!
cookingwithalia if you think about it the south of Italy was colonized by the Moors. Traditional Sicilian recipes for example use mint and aubergines and almonds a lot. All Italy use legumes too. It's the Mediterranean and we have a lot in common. It's like we are all brothers, I love it!
just what I was looking for thank you
Easy but amazingly delicious, reminds me of home and my mom's cooking. Thanks for the recipe Alya!
so glad you liked it
