recipe: Lentil and Silverbeet Soup

This is one of my favourite soups, I have just discovered it recently, but its on my top list. Goes perfect with some garlic bread....yummmm

Serves 4:
1 bunch Silverbeet - leaves thinly sliced, 1 1/2 cups green lentils, 1 chicken stock cube, 2 tbs olive oil, 1 onion finely chopped, 4 cloves of garlic crushed, 1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves, 1/3 cup lemon juice


1. Place lentils in a sauce pan, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer covered for about half an hour (or until they are soft);

2. In a large fry pan, heat the oil. Add garlic and onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft;

3. Add silverbeet to the fry pan and cook for about 5 minutes or until wilted;

4. Add the silverbeet mixture to the lentils a bit more water to cover and chicken stock cube. Simmer for

5 minutes, add coriander, lemon, salt and pepper.

Done, so easy.
Serve with some garlic bread, cracked black pepper and extra olive oil. Perfect!
