Lentil soup
The last few times I've tried to make lentil soup it has not been wildly successful. Once it was just what Jeff calls "empty in the middle" - it really was. But today it worked out well, so I thought I'd write down roughly what I did.
First, 1/2 of a really big onion, chopped, sauteed in butter and olive oil. Then I added about a tablespoon of whole cumin, and fried that for a while, then a pinch of saffron, squished. Then I added about a cup of red lentils and stirred it around. Then, a cup of veggie broth, and about 4 cups of water. Some salt, 2 cloves of crushed garlic. I let it simmer for about half an hour. (Then it had to sit for a while because it was just too early for lunch.) Finally, I added about 1/4 cup of rice - OK, OK, so I just put some in. I really don't know how much it was, but not that much. I cooked that for a while, then added some more salt and some pepper at the end. And that's it! I served it with yogurt that just had lemon and salt in. Got rave reviews all around, though I cannily pureed Ethan's portion first so he wouldn't know about the onions.
