Ingredients

150g dried green lentils, rinsed
3 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Chilli Infused Olive Oil, plus extra to drizzle
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
500g carrots, scrubbed, thickly sliced
2 tsp fennel seeds
3 clove/s garlic, peeled and chopped
850ml vegetable stock, made with 2 stock cubes
400g can plum tomatoes
2 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Sun Dried Tomato Paste
1 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Zaatar, plus extra to serve
⅓ x 25g coriander, leaves chopped, plus extra to scatter
1 The Levantine Table Handstretched Flatbread

Method

Cook the lentils in a saucepan of boiling water for 15 minutes. In a separate, large saucepan, heat the oil and gently fry the onion and carrots for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the fennel seeds and garlic, then fry gently for a further 3 minutes, stirring.
Drain the lentils and add to the saucepan with the stock, plum tomatoes, tomato paste, zaatar and coriander. Heat until simmering, cover and cook gently for 25 minutes until the carrots are completely tender. Blend the soup until smooth, season to taste and reheat gently. Preheat the grill to high.
Lightly toast the flatbread, adding another minute on to pack instruction time, for more colour. Tear into bitesized pieces. Ladle the soup into bowls and scatter over the flatbread and some extra zaatar. Serve with a drizzle of chilli oil and coriander leaves.

Cook’s tip

You can make this soup ahead and store in the fridge for a couple of days. Reheating spicy soups, stews and casseroles accentuates their flavour.
