Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c red lentils (split)
9 c chicken stock
2 c chopped onions
2 c potato (cut into bits)
1 1/2 lb lamb stew meat
1 c flour for dredging
1 bunch cilantro (i use cilantro boullion)
8 clove garlic skinned and whole
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 tsp salt and pepper
1 Tbsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric, ground

Steps:

  • 1. Take your chopped onions and over low heat let them sweat out for about 30min
  • 2. After 30min, put your chicken stock, garlic, potatoes, and lentils into the pot and let it come to a boil and drop the heat.
  • 3. Salt & Pepper your stew meat and dredge in flour. In a bit of oil brown your lamb and then toss that in your pot.
  • 4. combine your cumin, turmeric and salt(1tsp) and toast in a pan with a tablespoon of oil. When it gives off a nice aroma and not scorching, stir it into your soup mix.
  • 5. Cover and let it simmer for about an hour. I like to use my immersion hand blender and smooth out the soup but you don't have to. I let this cook on low for 4 hours.
