特別風味胡蘿蔔扁豆湯

這份食譜的食材份量製作6至8人份，你可用其中一半份量製作3、4人份。你若缺少了某些食材或佐料，可用類似的東西代替，做出來的味道可能會有所不同。

整個過程：切洗大約用20分鐘，燒煮大約需要35分鐘。

2 tbsp olive oil 橄欖油
1 large brown onion, roughly chopped 洋蔥切小塊
4 medium carrots, scrubbed and roughly chopped, about 800g 胡蘿蔔切小塊
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed, about 300g 地瓜切小塊

(混合以上食材，加適量鹽和水炒10分鐘，再放入下面各種佐味料，炒出香味，最後加入扁豆、核桃、開水和湯料，攪勻後小火煮25分鐘。)

200g dried red lentils, rinsed, 1 cup 扁豆洗淨
4 cloves garlic, finely grated 蒜切末
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated 姜切末
1 tsp ground coriander 香菜粉
½ tsp ground fenugreek 胡蘆巴粉
1 tbsp mild curry powder 咖哩粉
1 tsp ground turmeric 姜黃粉
1 cinnamon quill 桂皮
2-3 bay leaves, fresh or dried 香葉
100g freshly shelled walnuts, chopped, 1 cup 碎核桃仁
1.5 litres just-boiled water from the kettle 滾開水
2 vegetable or “chicken-style” stock cubes 肉湯或菜湯調味料
1-2 tbsp pomegranate molasses, to taste 石榴糖漿

(煮好後撈出香葉，最後淋一些石榴糖漿。你可以用攪打器把做好的濃湯打成糊狀，但華人一般不介意讓湯中有塊狀食材，或喜歡讓湯稀一些就多加水。吃時可將下面酸奶和更多佐料蓋澆在濃湯上面，沾扁平烤麵餅吃。)

To finish ¼ bunch coriander, leaves picked, 30g
250g natural yoghurt, or coconut yoghurt, 1 cup
Freshly shelled walnuts, chopped
Good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
Pomegranate molasses
Warmed flatbread of your choice, to serve, Greek-style pita okay.
