Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)

2 large onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala

1 teaspoon ground coriander

3 jalapeno chili peppers, halved, cored, seeded and minced. (I've also used 4 Serrano chilies, prepped the same)

1 pound red lentils, rinsed and checked for extraneous material

1 28-ounce can San Marzano diced tomatoes with juice (or equivalent peeled fresh tomatoes)

8 cups vegetable (or chicken) stock

6 tablespoons lemon juice

Coarse salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Optionally, yogurt or sour cream for a garnish

Directions

In a soup pot heat the olive oil (or melt the butter) and cook the onions until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic, garam masala, coriander and peppers and cook gently for another minute or two until fragrant.

All the lentils, tomatoes and stock. Stir and bring to a simmer, then simmer gently, partially covered, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender but not falling apart.

Add the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Optionally serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream.

Serranos would give it a nice kick. I love lentils and this is similar to an Egyptian red lentil dish I make.. I like the flavor combo in your recipe... High Five.....
