Ingredients:
500g red lentils (adis), washed
2 onions, chopped
8 garlic cloves, crushed
6 tsp oil
4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
8 white bread rolls broken-up into small pieces
1 potato, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced
3 cardamoms, crushed
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Method:
Add the onions, tomatoes, potatoes, carrot and green bell pepper and lentils to a pot along with the cardamom and cinnamon. Cover with water to some 10 cm above the vegetables. Cover the pan and simmer until the lentils are tender (about 35 minutes, adding water as necessary). Allow to cool then blend to a purée.
Return the purée back to the pot, add the salt and pepper and allow to simmer for 2 minutes. Meanwhile fry the garlic in a separate pan until golden brown. Add this to the stock and cook for 3 minutes.
Place the bread in a serving dish then pour the addis mix over the top and serve.
