BLOKES COOKING....

Here's an old recipe from the 80s.

Turkish Lentil Soup
Butter or Marg
2 large onions chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 litre veg stock
4 large toms chopped (or I use tinned if pushed for time)
Tom purée
250g red lentils - well rinsed
Lemon


Melt the butter/marg in a large saucepan, add onions + garlic, fry until softened.
Add stock, toms, purée and salt & pepper. Bring to boil.
Add lentils, return to boil.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes; stir regularly.

Serve with a squeeze of lemon and if you're feeling poncey add a lemon slice to each bowl.

Would you add a touch of Cumin to give it a bit more depth and perhaps a sprig of Coriander?
