Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil divided
- 1 onion diced
- 1 cup brown lentils rinsed and checked for debris
- 1 potato diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
- 8 cups water
- 2 vegetable stock cube or chicken stock cube
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
- 1 cilantro bunch, chopped; aka coriander
- 2 swiss chard 1 lb or 500 g, leaves and stems chopped, multiple bunches
- 1/4 cup lemon juice about 2 lemons, squeezed
Instructions
- In a large pot, add half the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the diced onions and sauté several minutes until soft.
- Add the lentils and potatoes, and stir to mix. Add the salt, pepper, cumin powder, and dried mint, all the water, and the stock cubes. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until lentils and potatoes are cooked through.
- Meanwhile, add the remainder of the olive oil to a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped cilantro and crushed garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes until garlic is light brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside until later.
- Once the lentils and potatoes have cooked, remove the cover and stir in the swiss chard. Cover again, and simmer on medium low for 25-30 minutes until chard is tender and dark green.
- Stir in the lemon juice and the garlic/cilantro mix. Taste and adjust seasonings. Enjoy!
Notes
- You an adjust the lemon to your preference. If you don't want this as tart, add the juice of 1 lemon first then add more if you like.
- You can chop the swiss chard as finely or as coarse as you like it. I like relatively big pieces.
- Swiss chard can be substituted for baby spinach or frozen spinach.
- Storing Leftovers: Leftover swiss chard and lentil soup will last tightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes well, 4-6 months in a tightly covered container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before gently reheating on the stove top.
