Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
1 cup dried lentils
6 cups water
1 onion -- chopped
2 carrots -- diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup dried apricots
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt -- or sour cream, for garnish (I used fat-free)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint -- for garnish
Wash the lentils thoroughly, being sure to remove any small stone or dirt, and place them, along with the water, in the slow cooker insert. Add the onion, carrots, cumin and apricots.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
If you wish, you can puree some or all of the soup, or leave it just as it is. In any case, garnish it with a dollop of the yogurt and a sprinkling of the mint.
Serves 4 to 6.
AuthorNote: All right, Armenia can't really be considered "Middle Eat", but it is part of the botanically very important Trans-Caucasus region that begins in Iran. Botanically important because nearly all of our favorite stone fruits (cherries, peaches, apricots, etc.) had their beginnings in this region. This unusual soup combines the apricots of the region with lentils and vegetables. There are many variations and many ingredient possibilities, including bell peppers, tomatoes, mint, allspice, cinnamon and paprika. In some versions, the lentils and vegetables are left whole; in others they are pureed. Vary the soup to suit your taste.
