Chickpea stew and lentil soup: Imad Alarnab's recipes for Syrian comfort food
"A bowl of creamy red lentil soup feels like pure comfort warm, silky and deeply satisfying. The lentils cook down into a smooth, golden blend, their gentle sweetness enriched by sauteed onions, garlic and a touch of spice. A drizzle of dukkah oil brightens things up, making it perfect for January. Then, a Levantine chickpea stew with aubergine and tahini, which is so nourishing and full of flavour. Tender chickpeas simmer slowly in a rich tomato base until they absorb the sweetness of onions, garlic,"
"As the dukkah oil mingles with the soup, it releases an earthy aroma: nutty, citrussy and softly spiced. Served with a slice of crusty bread and a squeeze of lemon, this soup is a quiet celebration of comfort, spice and the beauty of humble ingredients. Prep 15 min Cook 1 hr 5 min Serves 4-6 125ml extra-virgin olive oil 125g finely chopped white onion 125g grated carrot"
