Esaus Pottage Food

ESAU'S POTTAGE

Steps:

• Mix together and soak overnight: Lentils oil,salt and water to cover.
• Drain and discard liquid next day. (I have also eliminated this entire step without a problem).
• Heat Pressure Cooker and add remaining ingredients along with the lentils.
• Pressure cook for 20 min and let pressure drop on it's own.
• I usually use more veggies and it comes out almost like a stew instead of a soup.
• The parsnips really help to make this so try to include them.

LENTIL SOUP (POTAGE ESAU)

Steps:

• Place the pork fat in a kettle and cook briefly to render but not to brown. Add the onion and cook slowly, stirring frequently, about five minutes. Add the garlic and lentils and stir.
• Add the rice and broth. Add salt and pepper to taste and the bay leaf. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, about 45 minutes or until lentils are tender. Scoop out one cup of lentils and set aside.
• Put the soup through a food mill or sieve to remove the outer skin of the lentils. Blend the puree of lentils in an electric blender. This may have to be done in two or more operations.
• As the soup is blended, return it to the kettle and add the reserved cup of lentils. Bring to the boil. Add the cream and bring to the simmer. Swirl in the butter and serve piping hot.
