Green Lentil Soup

Ingredients:
  • 1½ cup Green Lentils 
  • ½ cup Tahini 
  • 6 Garlic Cloves 
  • ½ cup Olive Oil 
  • ½ tsp Cumin 
  • Water 
  • Salt, as per taste

Method:
  • Preheat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees.

  • Let the garlic roast for around half an hour, or until it is brown in color.

  • Keep the lentils in the refrigerator for about half an hour. 
  • After half an hour, put the lentils in the food processor and pulse for a minute or two. 
  • Now add other ingredients, like tahini, roasted garlic, cumin, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. 
  • Pulse the food processor again, so that all the ingredients mix well. Make sure that the texture of the lentil is smooth. Serve with your New Year feast.
