Due to a conversation on another thread Marzgirl had an idea to start this thread, I had something to post in it and it was not there yet so I created it.

Needed something warm and comforting and I am skint and missing my usual ingrediants so adapted -

Hot and Spicy Lentil Soup

2 Large Onions - chopped
4 Cups Red Lentils
2 Tsp Chilli Powder
2 Tbl Chilli Oil
1 Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Fennel Seeds

Fry Onions, Chilli Powder, Turmmeric and Fennel Seeds in Chilli Oil until the onions soften (not brown unless this is your taste).
Add Lentils and 2 pints boiling water.
Bring to boil, simmer for 20 mins stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary.
Blitz all ingrediants in a blender (or only half if you want a thicker consistency).
Season with Salt and Pepper to taste (add more chilli if you wish).
Leave to marinade. Before Serving add more water if needed then reheat and serve.

Delitious,

Vx

I had a PMS diet book a long time ago, really it just boiled down to healthy eating and wasn't much use at all. Indulgent recipes like those look much more like it to me! Yum.

That would be me.
