Knuspr-Küche
Ein herzhafter Klassiker aus der traditionellen türkischen Küche: Aromatische grüne Linsen, sanft geköchelt mit feinem Wurzelgemüse, fruchtigem Tomatenmark und Kreuzkümmel. Vollendet mit heißer Minz-Chili-Butter und Zitrone.
Preparation method
Preparation & sautéing
Finely dice the onion and garlic cloves. Peel the carrots and cut them into small cubes. Rinse the green lentils thoroughly in a sieve under cold water.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot. Sauté the diced onion and carrots over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cumin and roast for 1 minute until fragrant.
Cooking & finishing
Stir in the tomato paste and roast briefly. Add the drained lentils and pour in the hot vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 25–30 minutes until the lentils are tender.
Chef's tip
Serve with fresh, warm Turkish flatbread (Pide) and extra lemon wedges for seasoning.
