Ingredients

Lentils (about 4 cups, depending on how much you need)

1 litre of medium dry red wine

½ pound cubed belly of pork (cured, smoked)

2 onions

1 litre (approx.)Vegetable stock

Bay leaves

Cloves

Cayenne pepper

salt

2 carrots, cubed

4 small potatoes, cubed

250 ml cream (should be about 2 cups)

Powdered sugar or sugar cubes (confectioner’s sugar?)

Directions

Soak lentils over night in red wine.

Fry cubes belly of pork,

onions until onions light brown,

sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar,

let caramelize.

Add lentils with wine and stock

Add all spices

Simmer for 15 minutes

Add cubed carrots and

Cubed potatoes

Simmer until lentils and vegetables are done.

Add cream

Now season to taste

Instead of confectioner’s sugar at the beginning you can take 4 sugar cubes and use your kitchen ‘soldering gun’ to caramelize the cubes, then put them into soup. I find the way with the confectioner’s sugar easier and it tastes just as good.

This does sound interesting. I will have to give it a try. I would not have thought of soaking the lentils in wine. I have also never used pork belly. Not that it is not easy to find in my area I just never had the desire to use it. Thank you for the posting it is a very interesting idea.

This sounds wonderfully hearty. I can always use another lentil soup recipe and this one sounds particularly unique.
