Title: Lentil and Spinach Soup, Adas Bi Sabaanikh (V
Categories: Soups, Prodigy, Dec.
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 c Dried lentils
8 c Water
1 lg Onion; chopped
3 Garlic cloves; crushed
6 oz Tomato paste
2 bn Spinach; cleaned chopped
1/2 c Fresh parsley
1/4 ts Freshly ground pepper
1/8 ts Crushed red hot pepper flake
1/4 c Fresh lemon juice

This is a Middle Eastern soup, typical of the simple
foods served in the desert regions. Serve with pita
bread and a grain or vegetable dish for a simple meal.
This soup is also food served cold, stuffed into a
pita bread. Place the lentils and water in a large
pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 30 minutes
over medium low heat. Add the onion , tomato paste and
garlic and cook an additional 30 minutes. Add the
spinach, parsley, and peppers. Mix well and cook for
another 10 minutes. Add the lemon juice just before
serving. Mix in well and serve at once. I added a bit
of fresh ground nutmeg salt to taste. Note: I have
found that balsamic vinegar in place of lemon juice is
wonderful with lentils and imparts a slightly sweet
taste… Nutrition (per serving): 251 calories Total

continuously. Add sesame mixture to the warming stock. Add salt. Cook over
low heat for 10 mins. Cool broth prior to adding cream so as not to curdle

NOTES : *Hint to avoid curdling cream when adding to hot broth: place cream
in separate medium sized bowl or pan away from heat source. Slowly and
gradually add one ladel at a time of hot stock to the cream while stirring
during each addition. This will bring the cream up to the temperature of the
heating stock gradually and avoid separation when placed back into the heating
stock pot. (1 – 2 ladel additions should accomplish this depending on the
temperature of the stock and cream at time of combining.) Place the now
warmed cream back into the main stock pot, stirring as you add, then continue
with recipe below.
