Step 1
This is a recipe based on the Classic Guyanese Soup called "Dhal", a staple food in the West Indian Country. |
Step 2
In a medium size stock pot on medium heat, saute onions and garlic with a tbsp of vegetable oil until soft and tender. The onions and garlic should have no colour. |
Step 3
Add Lentils to the stock pot. Add cold water to the pot, enough to more than cover the lentils by 1/4 in volume, and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer. |
Step 4
Once liquid is lowered to a simmer, add spices , fresh herbs and bay leaves. Cover with lid and simmer until lentils are tender and soft to the touch. |
Step 5
Remove from heat. Using a hand blender, blend liquid to a fine, smooth soup-like consistency. Add more water and adjust with Salt if necessary to get your ideal soup-like consistency. Serve Hot! |
