Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 In the crockpot: 2 cups red lentils, rinsed, soaked, and drained about 10 cups of water six carrots, scrubbed and shredded 2 onions, chopped and sauteed in a little oil 2 tsp cumin seeds, sauteed with the onions 3 or 4 garlic cloves (or more), pressed 1 Tbls. salt 2 chipotle chilis, minced Cook until very soft; six hours on high; longer on low. Puree with a hand/wand blender until smooth Add 2 large cans chopped tomatoes 2 Tbls. lemon juice more salt to taste (I added 2 tsp) heat to mix flavors; serve. I think I'd use more garlic next time. Pretty good on a snowy evening. Red lentils can be cooked without pre-soaking, but soaking and draining any kind of lentil or bean will reduce its gas-producing nature.
