description
Among all the lentils the red ones are the most imaginative, first of all because they do not need to be soaked. That's why they are quick to cook and easier to digest than other legumes. This recipe is very easy to prepare and has a cooking time of about 20 minutes
preparation
step 1
Chop the onion, the carrot and the celery coast. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan and let the minced mixture brown for a few minutes.
step 2
Add the decorticated red lentils and the curry and cook, stirring, for one or two minutes, then add the tomato sauce and stir. Add the hot stock and the bay leaf and cook covered for about twenty minutes.
step 3
With an immersion blender reduce everything into a puree and serve hot with chunks of toasted bread, your velvety red lentils.
