Now that we are immersed in the preparations and planning of Christmas, we must not forget to intersperse between feast and feast dishes that are necessary in our usual diet, as is the case of the vegetables. And since we must balance the excesses of these days a bit, today we will prepare some delicious light lentils with only with vegetables, spices and lettuce. Since Mayra and Ascen discovered the possibilities that lettuce has in the kitchen (Lettuce Cream o baked lettuce), I knew I had to try it with the lentils. Exquisite!

Ingredients

325 g of brown lentils that we will have soaked the night / afternoon before
1 cebolla
Carrots 2
4 cloves of garlic
50 ml of aceite oliva
shawl
a level tablespoon of chopped cumin
a pinch of pepper
a level teaspoon of hot red paprika
a level teaspoon of curry
900 ml water
a generous squirt of white vinegar
1/2 iceberg lettuce cut into julienne
3 tablespoons of fried tomato sauce

Preparation

Put the onion, carrots, garlic, salt and oil in the glass. Cut up 5 seconds at speed 5.
Sauté for 12 minutes at Varoma temperature, speed 1.
Add the lentils, the lettuce and all the spices (cumin, pepper, paprika and curry) to the glass along with the water and vinegar. Cook for 35 minutes, 100º, spoon speed, left turn. With beaker.
Check if the lentils are already soft and if they are not ready, add time from 5 minutes to 5 minutes, again programming the 100º temperature, spoon speed, turn to the left. The cooking time depends mainly on the hardness of the water. In my case, the water has a lot of lime and it took 45 minutes for them to be ready.
Once they are to our liking, we taste them with salt and spices and rectify to our liking. We also add a little water if they are too thick. For the broth to gain body and flavor intensity, add the fried tomato sauce and let the lentils boil without a bowl at 5 minutes, varoma temperature, spoon speed, left turn.

Can iceberg lettuce be substituted for batavia?
Thank you

Reply to Omi

Hi Omi, of course! You can also substitute it for chard or spinach. You will see how delicious they are. Thanks for writing to us!

Hello, I am not a great cook, but this recipe has made me seem like it :-), really great! Thank you very much for your answer, in the end I opted for what I had at home which were watercress.

Good Omi, I'm really happy. Of course you're a chef, it's just a matter of getting the hang of each dish. Thank you for your message! What will your next dish be?
