Ingredients
| red lentils | 160 g |
| onion | 1 PC. |
| carrot | 1 PC. |
| vegetable oil | 15-20 ml |
| salt | taste |
| water | 500-600 ml |
Step cooking
- To get started, prepare the vegetables. Peel one onion and one carrot and rinse under running water. Cut the onions into small cubes, and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
- Pour about 15-20 ml of vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl and heat it. Then place the prepared vegetables in the bowl and select the “Baking” mode. Fry vegetables in this mode until soft and golden brown for about 7-8 minutes, occasionally stirring with a kitchen spatula. When vegetables are ready, turn off the “Baking” mode.
- Rinse with water 160 g of lentils and sort out as necessary, then pour it into a multicooker for vegetables. Red lentils do not require soaking. Pour all the ingredients with approximately 500-600 ml of water. Close the lid of the multicooker and select the "Buckwheat" mode, cook porridge until all the water has evaporated. When ready, salt the lentils to taste. This is best done at the end, as salt slows down the cooking process.
In the same way, you can cook red lentils in a thick-walled pan, cauldron or deep frying pan.
Ready porridge is very aromatic and beautiful. By increasing the cooking time, you can easily turn porridge into mashed red lentils. In this case, rely on your preferences.
To diversify and saturate the taste of lentil porridge, mushrooms with tomatoes can also be added to the vegetables and fry them. And to give the dish a special flavor, you can add a little soy sauce to the porridge and add chopped or dried garlic. For a special delicacy during cooking, you can add raisins or dried apricots to the porridge.
You can serve aromatic porridge as an independent dish, or as a side dish for meat or fish dishes. A very good addition would be a salad of fresh vegetables or canned vegetables.
