In Ancient Greece, the mess of lentils has become a byword. Said that the bravery of the Spartans takes root in the soup. Will try to cook it :) We need red lentils, coconut milk and many spices.

Homeland lentil porridge consider mountain areas in South-Western Asia, and still it was loved and valued by the Egyptians, Indians and Arabs. And we wash the lentils, fill it with the coconut milk, add chili and turmeric and bring to a boil. Close the lid, reduce heat and cook until the liquid evaporates.

Lentils mentioned in the Bible, when Esau, the eldest of the sons of Isaac for a mess of pottage sold his younger, Jacob, the right of his birthright. Hence the expression "sold for a mess of pottage". Continue to prepare our dish: we shall cut onion half-rings, coarsely garlic and diced eggplant.

In our time the lentils are valued for their leadership properties in protein, iron and phosphorus among other legumes. And we fry the vegetables until Golden brown, then add the lentils. All mix and immediately spread on a plate.

The finished dish sprinkle with diced bell pepper and fresh cilantro!
