  • Before you start on the purée, put the lentils in a pot and cover them with water. Let them sit for half an hour, then swap in fresh water (1:3), set over the heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes. Drain in a sieve. While the lentils cook, peel and chop the onion and a piece of ginger root. Heat a skillet with the oil and sauté the onion and ginger until the onion is translucent and golden. Squeeze the lemon juice into a small cup. Score a shallow cross in the tomatoes—just through the skin. Drop the tomatoes into boiling water for 10 seconds, after which the skins slip off easily. Chop the tomatoes finely. Chop the parsley. Transfer the lentils to a blender and add the sautéed ginger and onion, the chopped tomatoes, and the parsley. Blend, pour in the lemon juice, and blend well once more. The final step is adding the spices and cream. Choose your seasonings to taste—I prefer to add just a tiny bit of ground black pepper to this purée. Salt it as well, then add the cream and mix everything thoroughly. Enjoy!
