Como fazer Algerian Adess Traditional Lentil Soup Stew Family Recipe
- Finely chop 1 large onion and 4 cloves of garlic. Gently sauté in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 lb of lamb or beef cubes (or 1 cup of lentils for a vegetarian version) to the pot and brown on all sides.
- Add 1 cup of brown or green lentils (rinsed), 6 cups of water or vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- If using a pressure cooker, close the lid and cook on medium heat for 40-45 minutes. If using a traditional pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5-2 hours, or until lentils are tender.
- If the soup is too thick, add more water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste for extra richness (optional).
- Serve hot, generously drizzled with olive oil and accompanied by crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
- Optional: Soak lentils overnight or for several hours in a bowl of water to reduce cooking time and improve texture (omit the baking soda if soaking).
