Ingredients | Lebanese Zucchini Recipe Vegetarian

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large yellow onion, diced

2 stalks celery with leaves, diced

2 carrots, diced

1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic

6 cups water

2 cups French green lentils

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon salt, or more to taste

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ cup butter (Optional)

1 cup all-purpose flour (Optional)

1 lemon, cut into wedges

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add water, lentils, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, salt, coriander, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; stir to incorporate. Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.

Whisk butter and flour together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir constantly until thickened and paste-like, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until light brown, about 20 more minutes. Whisk flour paste into finished soup, a spoonful at a time, until smooth and creamy. Serve with lemon wedges, 2 tablespoons parsley, and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper.
