A good recipe always starts with good ingredients:
Moroccan-style lentils
Serves 3 as a single dish / Cooking time 30-40 min / Preparation time 10 min
250 g blond lentils
2 carrots
1 fennel (reduces flatulence)
1 small can of tomato paste
1 onion and 1 garlic clove
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tagine spices (paprika-cumin-coriander-ginger-cayenne pepper)
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 pinch of cinnamon
750ml water
1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of pepper
Peel the onion and fennel, wash the carrots and dice them.
Peel the garlic clove, remove the stem and chop it.
Rinse and drain the lentils.
Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan and fry the chopped onions for a few minutes.
Then add the tomato paste, garlic, spices except salt and pepper (pulses tend to harden with salt during cooking).
Add the lentils and mix well before throwing in the carrots and fennel.
Moisten with water and cook for 30 to 40 minutes over medium heat. If necessary, add more water at the end of the cooking time depending on the absorption of your lentils, your pan and your cooking plate.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy your meal!
