ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions chopped
3 large cloves garlic minced
2 heaped teaspoons ground coriander
2 heaped teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoons turmeric
0.75 teaspoons paprika
0.25 teaspoons cinnamon
0.25 teaspoons allspice (optional)
1.5 teaspoons kosher salt (to begin with), then to taste
0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
7 cup vegetable broth
1 24-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 cup dried red lentils rinsed and picked over
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
directions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, allspice & red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute or two, stirring to coat the onions. Add the broth, tomatoes and salt, and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, or until the lentils are tender. Stir in the lemon juice, a small splash of red wine vinegar, cilantro, and parsley. Season to taste again with kosher salt. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
