I might try that option sometime, but like my black eyed peas recipe, red lentil soup, and many other bean dishes we eat on the Mediterranean diet, this is another dinner that is hearty and satisfying without the addition of meat. It's a chickpea and lentil soup that's made with either beef or lamb. There are as many versions of harira as there are cooks, but traditionally it's a very simple and fairly light soup (ie, consisting of more broth than substance) because it's generally eaten as a starter to prepare the body for a larger meal to follow. Typically, Harira soup includes ground meat, but this easy version is vegetarian (and vegan) friendly!
Instructions to make Harira - Red Lentil Soup:
- Heat olive oil in large pot or dutch oven. Sauté onion, carrot, parsley and cilantro until caramelized.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the garlic, ginger and all of the spices. Sauté until fragrant; less than a minute.
- Add lentils, tomatoes, and broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 50 minutes, or until the lentils have cooked thoroughly and soup has thickened. Salt to taste.
