Instructions
- 1
Wash the red lentils and put them in a pot with the water and salt.
- 2
Dice the eggplant small and add it to the pot once the lentils come to a boil.
- 3
Cook the soup over medium-low heat for 28 minutes, until the lentils open up and the eggplant softens.
28 min28:00 - 4
Add the verjuice, dried mint, and red pepper flakes and boil for 5 more minutes.
5 min05:00 - 5
Halve the garlic cloves and turn them in olive oil for 2 minutes, until lightly colored.
2 min02:00 - 6
Drizzle the garlic oil over the soup; if the texture is thick, loosen with 0.5 cup of hot water.
- 7
Serve the soup hot with radish and optional lavash.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find verjuice, add lemon juice during the last 5 minutes; adding it early slows the lentils from opening up.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup like a Kilis table bowl with dried mint garlic oil, optional thin lavash, and radish slices.
