German Lentil Soup

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 500 g dried lentils (small green Puy lentils are best)
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 3-4 medium carrots
  • 1/2 celeriac
  • 1 stalk leek
  • 1 small parsley root
  • 3 dried laurel leaves
  • vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 litres vegetable stock with some vegan red wine mixed in
  • tomato paste (optional)
  • pepper, soy sauce, vegan sugar, vegan red wine vinegar

Directions:

Dice potatoes, carrots, celeriac and parsley root into
fairly small cubes (about 1 cm). Cut leek in 1 cm rings.

Sauté the veggies in vegetable oil. Add lentils and
vegetable stock (note: lentils should be well covered!),
season with soy sauce, pepper, and some vegan sugar (I use at
least one teaspoonful). Add the laurel leaves and cook. In a
pressure cooker, this takes about 20 minutes.

When cooked, take out the laurel leaves and discard them,
add the vinegar (to taste) and tomato paste if desired.

This is a variation of a traditional German recipe.
If you want to be traditional you can serve this
with a vegetarian sausage – but it is nice by itself, and
particularly good for a cold winter day.

Serves: 6

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 4 oz Lentils
  • 2 teaspoons Tomato Puree
  • 1 Onion Chopped
  • Chilli Powder – to taste
  • Pepper to season

Directions:

Serves: 6.

Preparation time: 20 mins.

Cook the lentils as instructed on the packet.
Boil the onions in a little water to soften.
Add the onions to the lentils, add all the other ingredients and put
in a food procesor for 1 minute to form a smooth paste. The spread
will require chilling in the fridge. The spread does thicken when
chilled.

The spread can be used for sandwiches – add salad to the sandwich.
Or you can use the mixture as a dip.
