Ingredients
- 1 kg or 2.2 lbs carrot peeled or not, it's up to you
- 1 head garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams or 1/2 cup red lentils
- 1 teaspoon ras el hanout
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika sweet
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 Chili pepper optional, for extra spiciness, small, red
- 4-5 tablespoons flat-leaf Italian parsley chopped, to garnish
- naan bread optional, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 400 °F. Cut your carrots in sticks (see notes above). You don't have to peel them but you can. Arrange your carrots on a baking tray in one layer. Cut the top of a head of garlic and put it to the carrots. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. They should be tender but not mushy when pierced with a fork.
- In the meantime, boil red lentils in a medium saucepan. Bring them to a boil, cover and cook for 15 minutes or check the instructions on the package.
- When the carrots are done, transfer them to a pot together with peeled garlic cloves. Pour warm water, just enough to cover the vegetables. Add spices and bring to a boil. Puree the soup using an immersion blender or a food processor until smooth. Add lentils and mix to combine.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with parsley and seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Serve some Naan bread or any other flatbread. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover in the fridge fro up to 3 days.
- The soup will get thicker over time. Add some warm vegetable broth to thin it up.
