My dear foodies,

Hey Foodies, Today I bring you a dish that because of its ingredients is very economical and its preparation is too easy to refuse to prepare. Besides offering important nutrients, I'm sure it will be a delicacy to eat alone or as an accompaniment. It is a delicious lentils and carrots cream.

Although this is a typical autumn dish, it will provide a good load of protein and a lot of heat for these cold days, but I am one of those who think that you can eat at any time of the year.

Join me in discovering this rich recipe.

LENTILS AND CARROTS CREAM


source

My secrets INGREDIENTS

♡ 275 g peeled carrots

♡ 150 g onion

♡ 400 g cooked and drained lentils

♡ 900 ml vegetable stock

♡ Olive oil

PREPARATION

Preparation time: 25min

Cooking time: 40min

Total: 65min

Peel and cut the onion and carrot into squares.


source

Heat the pot and when it is hot add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and then the carrot. Let it fry for about 5 minutes before adding the onion as well. Let it sauté without the onion browning.


source

Add the vegetable broth and let the vegetable boil for 25 minutes or until it is tender.

With the vegetables properly cooked, turn off the heat and add the lentils and proceed to grind all the ingredients. You can do it in the same pot if it is high enough so that it doesn't splash on you. If you think it is convenient, you can always place the contents of the pot in a whisk glass or in the American mixer.

If you want the less thick cream, simply rectify by adding broth until it is to your liking. As I always tell you, be careful with the salt if you use a brick broth.

I let you try this recipe and tell me what you think! ;)
