العدس / L3des (Moroccan lentils)

Cumin, paprika, turmeric, and ginger complement the earthiness of the green lentils in this flavorful, filling dish.

This recipe is for a common, basic Moroccan home-cook preparation of lentils; other preparations also include diced potatoes, sun-dried cured meat (al guedid or al qadid / الݣديد or القديد), dried meat cooked in oil (al khli3 / الخليع), or squash.

Ingredients:

2 cups (375g) green lentils, soaked in cool water for about 40 minutes

1 large yellow onion, grated

4 cloves garlic, grated or chopped

1/2 Tbsp ground turmeric

1/2 Tbsp ground ginger

1/2 Tbsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground

1 tsp black peppercorns, toasted and ground

1/2 Tbsp ground sweet paprika

1 Mediterannean bay leaf (laurel)

1 tomato, peeled and grated (about 1/2 cup)

1 Tbsp tomato paste (optional)

One bunch (1/2 cup) flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 1/3 cup (800mL) water

Ground roasted cumin, paprika, or cayenne pepper, to serve (optional)

Instructions:

1. Pick over lentils for stones or other debris. Soak them in enough cool water to cover.

2. If using whole spices, toast black peppercorns on medium in a dry skillet for a few minutes until fragrant. Set aside. Toast cumin for a minute or two until fragrant. Allow spices to cool. Grind peppercorns and cumin with a mortar and pestle or in a spice mill.

3. Quarter and grate the tomato flesh-side-first, leaving the skin behind. You can also peel the tomato by placing it for one minute in just-boiled water, then removing its skin (if skin does not come off easily, soak for another minute); then purée it in a blender. Grate the onion and garlic, or pulse in a food processor.

4. Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a large pot on medium. Add onion, garlic, bay leaf, and parsley and cook, covered, for 2-3 minutes.

5. Add spices (turmeric, cumin, pepper, and paprika) and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6. Add the tomato. Cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

7. Add the lentils and water. Bring to boil on high, then lower to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the lentils are tender, 25-30 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil.

8. Simmer, uncovered, until the desired consistency is achieved. The dish should be very saucy, like a stew.

9. Add salt to taste. Serve with olive oil, sweet paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper at the table to top. Pair with a crusty bread, such as khobz.

Spice profiles vary somewhat for this dish, but typically include turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Paprika and/or cumin are often added; sometimes, coriander or bay leaf is added as well.

Cooking methods also vary significantly. Some preparations cook a selection of the ingredients in oil before boiling, as I have called for; others add all ingredients to a pot and bring them to a boil together.
