The ingredients are fairly
simple — and the harder - to - find ones, like saffron and preserved lemons are optional — the dish is incredibly healthy and it's a
nice healthy break from the heavier stews and
soups that usually get us through the cold winters.
Lentils are a go - to for me... I love
simple curried lentil
soup (veg broth, diced onion, mushroom, curry powder, cumin, garlic, and lentils + any add - ins you like... squash or potatoes help add bulk to it, I like adding spinach or kale, tomatoes add a
nice acidity...) or an even
simpler cold lentil salad made with red onion, diced tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, and lemon juice / vinegar / EVOO.
