Recipe
Lentil, coconut and spinach soup
Ingredients:
150g puy lentils
1 litre vegetable stock
1 onion, chopped
2 fat garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
100g creamed coconut, chopped and dissolved in 150ml boiling water or 250ml canned coconut milk
2-3 tbsp dark soy sauce
4 small handfuls of baby spinach, about 50g
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Preparation method:
1. Rinse the lentils, then put them in a large pan and add enough cold water to just cover.
2. Boil for ten minutes, then add the remaining ingredients, except the spinach.
3. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
4. Put a small handful of the spinach in four warmed bowls and ladle the hot soup on top. The heat from the soup will wilt the leaves
5. Serve immediately with warm flatbread, pita or naan.
