LENTIL SOUP WITH WATERCRESS

This is an healthy recipe from Healthy Heart Cookbook from the American Medical Association. It's very good and thick. In the directions, it says : the soup should be slightly thickened like a stew. So that's ok if it's thick. Lentils are loaded with protein and fiber, can be kept on hand in the pantry, and cook quickly without presoaking, making lentil soup an excellent anytime meal. Peppery watercress perks up the flavor and adds vibrant color to this earthy soup.

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and celery and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato and oregano and cook for 3 minutes longer. Add the broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the lentils. Return to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then add the bulgur. Simmer until the lentils are soft but still intact, about 10 minutes longer. Add more broth if necessary, but the soup should be slightly thickened like a stew.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the watercress. Season with the salt and serve immediately.

LENTILS WITH WATERCRESS

Watercress is an amazing ingredient to incorporate into meals: from its hearty list of vitamins to its sharp peppery flavor. It can also be wilted or enjoyed raw. While the ends of the stems can be tough, most of the stems are tender, juicy and edible. Look for watercress in clamshells or bags of pretrimmed pieces or in a bunch.

RED LENTIL AND WATERCRESS SALAD

This salad stands well as its own summertime vegetarian entree or as a side to a simply grilled meat. Chicken and lamb work particularly with these Mediterranean flavors. If watercress is not available, you can use another peppery green such as arugula. Red lentils are best in this recipe as they cook faster and offer a nice visual contrast to the greens.
