Step 1

Begin by finely dicing the onion and grating the carrot. Crush the 2 cloves of garlic and set aside.

Step 2

Heat up a large pot on medium heat and add the olive oil. Gently sauté the onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Rinse the lentils very thoroughly under cold water. Add the washed lentils to the pot with the sauteed onions along with the 6 cups of water (or chicken broth). Simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Once the lentils have become tender, add the grated carrot and season with cumin, salt and white pepper. Simmer for 10 more minutes.

Step 5

Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
