- This is a Middle Eastern soup, typical of the simple foods served in the desert regions. Serve with pita bread and a grain or possibly vegetable dish for a simple meal. This soup is also food served cool, stuffed into a pita bread.
- Place the lentils and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 30 min over medium low heat. Add in the onion , tomato paste and garlic and cook an additional 30 min. Add in the spinach, parsley, and peppers. Mix well and cook for another 10 min. Add in the lemon juice just before serving. Fold in well and serve at once. I added a bit of fresh grnd nutmeg & salt to taste.
- Note: I have found which balsamic vinegar in place of lemon juice is wonderful with lentils and imparts a slightly sweet taste... Nutrition (per serving): 251 calories Total Fat 1 g (4% of
