Main Ingredients

Spices and Seasoning

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dice the carrot and celery. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Rinse the Lentils and Rice

    In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the lentils and brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the diced carrot and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the rinsed lentils and brown rice. Add the vegetable broth, bay leaves, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils and rice are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. 7

    Finish the Soup

    Remove the bay leaves, stir in the fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
