Every Tuesday and Thursday for the next year, the GOOD team has pledged to take it in turns to cook and share a big bowl of soup or salad.
The Method:
• Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and stir about a minute.
• Add vegetable broth and lentils; cover and bring to boil.
• Lower heat, and let simmer 10 to 12 minutes with the lid still on.
• Add potatoes; cook uncovered until potatoes and lentils are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Grate 2 teaspoons peel from lemon (should take 2-3 lemons); squeeze enough juice from lemons to measure 6 tablespoons. Add lemon peel, lemon juice, spinach and cayenne to stew. Cover and simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until spinach wilts and is cooked through.
• Mix in mint—fresh or dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
This can be prepared a day before. Just cover and refrigerate and re-heat over low heat (or in the microwave) before serving. After dishing out, top off with some crumbled feta and enjoy!
The Breakdown:
How did our soup do in terms of taste and portability—and how easy or hard was it to prepare?
