Mercimek Corbasi
The perfect mercimek corbasi recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 1 Cup Red lenses
- 0,5 Cup Round grain rice
- 1 dice Broth
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Onion
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Paprika pulp
- 1 tbsp Dried mint
- Some pepper
- 1 size Lemon
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Sweet paprika powder
- 1 tsp Parsely
- Flatbread
- 6,5 cups Water
- Chop the onion and fry with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add 4 cups of water and bring to the boil. Add the cube of the broth, 1 teaspoon salt and the lentils and the rice. Let everything cook until the lentils and rice have soaked up the water and are done. (approx. 20-25 min)
- In the meantime, fry the butter with the tomato park and paprika pulp for about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir everything again.
- When the lentils and rice are cooked through, puree them with a hand blender. Add the tomato and pepper mixture and puree everything thoroughly again. Since the soup is then too mushy, I always add 2 1/2 cups of boiled water. Finally stir in 1 tablespoon of mint. Try and who would still like to season with salt and pepper
- To garnish you prepare a paprika sauce. For this you need 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of paprika powder. Mix in a small saucepan and bring to the boil briefly. Pour the soup into a small soup or cereal bowl, drizzle with paprika sauce and decorate with a little parsley. In addition, you need a piece of lemon which you then squeeze over the soup … Sufficient with it is fresh flatbread In Turkey we also like to eat the delicious soup for breakfast :)))
