Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 10 Min
Cook: 20 Min
Ingredients for Soup:
Red Lentils 1   Cup
Broken Rice 2   Tbsp
Fine Bulgur 2   Tbsp
Dry Onion (Medium size) 1   Qty
Garlic (crushed) 1   Clove
Butter 2   Tbsp
Fine Salt 1   Tsp (large)
Black Pepper 1   Tsp
Butter 1   Tbsp
Pepper Paste 1   Tbsp
Tomato Paste 1   Tbsp
Ingredients for Service:
Dried Mint 2   Tsp (large)
Chili Pepper 1   Qty
Butter 1   Tbsp

Steps:

  1. Rinse the lentils, bulgur and rice and wash them thoroughly.
  2. Peel and chop the onions. Finely chop the garlic too. Melt the oil in a saucepan and fry the onions and garlic until they turn pink.
  3. Add the tomato paste and fry for 1-2 minutes until their odor comes out.
  4. Add the washed lentils, bulgur and rice to the pot and turn it for a few turns, then add salt, pepper and broth (or drinking water) and cook on high heat until it boils, then on medium heat with the lid slightly ajar.
  5. When all the ingredients are softened and thickened, pass them through a hand blender. If you prefer grainy soups, do not thin too much.
  6. For serving, fry the mint and chili peppers in the heated butter until foamy. You can serve the sauce by adding it to the pot, or by pouring it over the serving bowls.
  7. Take the soup off the fire and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, and serve it hot with lemon slices. Bon Appetit!
