...brought to you by Recipes EU



Sour Lentil Soup
1/2 liter Brown lentils
2 liter Water
1/4 liter Finely chopped spring onions
1 Garlic clove (opt.), crushed
1/2 deciliter Finely chopped coriander *
3/4 deciliter Olive oil
1/2 deciliter Cold water
1 tbsp Flour
1/2 deciliter Vinegar (or to taste)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper


*Note: Finely chopped parsley may be substituted for coriander leaves.

Wash lentils in several changes of cold water, or place in a sieve
and run water through them. Drain.

Put lentils in a large pot with 8 cups water, spring onion, garlic if
used, oil and coriander or parsley (or a combination of the two if
preferred). Bring to the boil, cover pan and simmer on low heat for 1
hour or until lentils are soft.

Put water and flour in a screw top jar, seal and shake until
thoroughly combined. This prevents lumps forming. Pour this
gradually into boiling soup, stirring constantly, until thickened
slightly. Add vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Return to the
boil, boil gently for 5 minutes, then serve hot.

When deciding on a daily routine, the important thing is to also make sure you cut down your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When selecting food, dieters ordinarily look at retail store and branded products sold as 'low fat'. This is frequently incorrect, in that a food item may well be significantly reduced in fat, but whilst still remaining much too high in calories.

Drink plenty of water. Your body must have plain water , it is indispensable for our good health and is blessed with calories. Water also has the benefit that it fills the dieters stomach and helps reduce feelings of emptiness. The recommended portions doctors declare that we should try to drink at the minimum 6 tumblers of plain water a day.

Instead of dwelling on those types of food that you really should ban from your daily routine, look at the recommended foods which you can add to your daily routine. If one can manage to insert a few beneficial grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel more satisfied and have a much lower likelihood of falling prey to those unhealthy mid-afternoon snacks.
