Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot and white turnip into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While the veggies are roasting, finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until toasted, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and souk market spice blend, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add crushed & sieved tomatoes (see ingredients), coconut milk, vegetable stock powder, the water, red lentils and the brown sugar. • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils have softened, 20-22 minutes.
• When the soup has 5 minutes cook time remaining, return the frying pan to medium-high heat. • Drizzle (or brush) each flatbread with olive oil. Cook flatbreads until golden and warmed through, 1-2 minutes each side.
• Remove saucepan from the heat, add baby spinach leaves and the roasted veggies. Stir until wilted and season to taste.
TIP: Add an extra dash of water to your soup if you prefer a thinner consistency.
• Divide Middle Eastern coconut and veggie lentil soup between bowls. • Top with toasted almonds. Serve with flatbreads. Enjoy!
