Egyptian Red Lentil Stew with Cumin Yogurt

이 레시피 정보

Red lentils are one of Egypt's most everyday pantry staples, cooked down into soups and stews far more often than served whole and separate. This stew leans into that tradition, simmering lentils with onion, garlic and warm cumin until they break down into a thick, comforting base, then finishing each bowl with a spoonful of yogurt whisked with garlic and lemon — a common way Egyptian cooks add richness and tang to lentil dishes. The lentils need no soaking and cook quickly, but the stew benefits from a full simmer so the lentils fully collapse rather than staying separate and grainy. A splash of lemon juice stirred in at the end lifts the earthiness of the lentils, while the cold yogurt swirled on top creates a contrast of temperature and tang against the hot stew. Served with warm flatbread, this is a filling, mostly pantry-based Sunday dinner that comes together in under an hour with ingredients most kitchens already have on hand.

• 2 tbsp올리브 오일
• 1양파(깍둑썰기한)

조리법

1. 1

   양파를 부드럽게 해주세요

   큰 냄비에 기름을 넣고 중간 불로 가열합니다. Add onion and cook 5-6 minutes until soft, then stir in half the garlic and 1 teaspoon cumin for 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add the lentils

   Add red lentils, salt, pepper and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

3. 3

   Simmer until broken down

   Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the lentils have fully collapsed into a thick, porridge-like stew.

   If it thickens more than you like, thin with a splash of hot water — lentils keep absorbing liquid as they sit.

4. 4

   Make the yogurt topping

   While the stew simmers, whisk together yogurt, remaining garlic, remaining cumin and lemon juice with a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   마무리하고 서빙하세요

   Taste the stew and adjust salt. Ladle into bowls, top each with a generous dollop of the cumin yogurt, and scatter parsley on top.

저장

Refrigerate the stew (without yogurt topping) up to 4 days; it thickens further in the fridge, so add water when reheating on the stovetop. Make the yogurt topping fresh each time rather than storing it mixed in.
