How to Make Shawrbat Adas Maa Banadoura Lentil And Tomato Soup

  1. Rinse 1 cup of red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy.
  4. While the lentils are simmering, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the frying pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are softened and golden brown.
  6. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup of long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  7. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spices are fragrant and the tomatoes have slightly thickened.
  8. Pour the contents of the frying pan into the saucepan with the cooked lentils.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the lentils are tender.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Shawrbat Adas Maa Banadoura!
