Ingredients
Steps
Cook the onion and carrot in the oil 8 minutes, then add the garlic and spices for 1 minute.
Add the lentils and stock and simmer 20 minutes until the lentils collapse.
Blend until smooth, adding water if it's too thick.
Season and stir in the lemon juice off the heat.
It thickens a lot as it cools — thin it when reheating.
