GREEK LENTIL SOUP (FAKES)



Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes) image

Fakes (pronounced 'Fah-kehs') is a staple in the Greek kitchen, and an especially filling meal. It is traditionally served with a drizzle of olive oil and lots of vinegar. Though the vinegar is of course optional, try it. It lifts the lentils and adds another dimension of flavor!

GREEK LENTIL SOUP



Greek Lentil Soup image

This is a simple soup, delicious and bursting with nutrition. It can be made a day or two in advance, leaving out the pasta and Swiss chard. Just before re-heating the soup, add them in, so they retain their bite and colour.

Provided by Jenny Sanders

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dried lentils
8 cups water
2 -3 bay leaves
2 large onions, chopped
3 -4 stalks celery, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup small whole wheat pasta shells
4 cups shredded swiss chard
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Wash and pick over the lentils, and put them in a large soup pot with the water and bay leaves. Bring them to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Prepare the onions, celery and carrots, and sauté them in the olive oil until soft and slightly browned in spots. Add them to the lentils when the lentils are getting tender; after about 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Dissolve the tomato paste in some of the soup water, and mix it into the soup. Add the salt, pepper and oregano.
  • Cook the pasta in plenty of salted, boiling water until almost tender. Drain and add to the soup.
  • Wash the Swiss chard well, and shred it finely. Add it to the soup, and simmer until the pasta is tender and the chard is bright green.
  • If soup appears to be too dry at this time, add more liquid. (This should be a thick, stew-like soup, but, if heat is too high, there may be too much evaporation).
  • When the soup is fully cooked, stir in 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice, or to taste.

GREEK LENTIL SOUP (FAKI)



Greek Lentil Soup (Faki) image

This was my mother's recipes for Faki, which has been one of my favorite soups since I was a child. The natural flavor of the lentils comes through nicely, providing a foundational flavor. The carrots and the celery, vegetables normally used to augment other things, shine in this soup; the sweetness of the carrots and the creaminess of the celery provide a strong middle flavor. The red wine vinegar at the end is absolutely essential. That last addition of an acid top note stretches the flavors and really makes this easy, simply, healthy soup a sure hit on a cold winter's night. Give it a try!

Provided by Itneedslemonjuice

Categories     Stew

Time 45m

Yield 1 big pot of soup

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup lentils
4 carrots
4 stalks celery
2 (32 ounce) boxes stock
2 tablespoons Greek oregano
salt and pepper
red wine vinegar
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
2 cups spinach leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups buglur wheat
cayenne pepper
red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare the lentils: Lentils are harvested by machine so often they come with small rocks and irregular looking beans that you do not want in your soup. To check the lentils, pour them in small batches onto a plate so they are able to spread out. Give them a quick look over, remove any foreign objects, and dump them into a bowl. Repeat until you have checked all of your lentils. Then fill the bowl with cold water and rinse your lentils 2-3 time to remove any dust or bean skins. Throw the lentils into a big soup pot.
  • Dice your carrots and celery and throw them into the pot as well.
  • Add 2 boxes of stock to the pot and put the soup on a high heat until it boils and then reduce to medium. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until the lentils are done.
  • To finish the soup, turn the heat to low. Now add the oregano and salt and pepper to taste. The soup is finished with a liberal addition of red wine vinegar, which adds an important top note to the soup. We often add it to the soup and then have the vinegar on the table to allow folks to add additional vinegar to their liking.
  • Optional Ingredients: Over the years I have tried out other Faki recipes. Here are my favorite additions from those experiments. The bulgur bulks up the soup into more of a stew. Despite how successful the soup can be if you add some (or all) of thee additions, I still most often stick with the basic soup. To add the additions, the tomatoes, spinach, garlic, and/or bulgur wheat goes in at the same time as the stock. The additional spices go in during the seasoning phase.

GREEK LENTIL AND SPINACH SOUP WITH LEMON



Greek Lentil and Spinach Soup With Lemon image

Adapted from "The Dairy Hollow House Soup and Bread Cookbook" by the indomitable Crescent Dragonwagon (not her birth name, obviously). I use a sweet potato instead of the butternut, as I am more likely to have those on hand and they are easier to peel and to scale down for fewer servings. I also use homemade chicken stock in lieu of veggie stock, as my freezer is always loaded with it, but you would get good results even with plain water. Use chard in place of spinach, if you like. Serve as an entree with a Greek salad and some good bread. NOTE: when I first made this, I weighed out a pound of mixed colors of lentils, in an effort to use some up. It came out VERY thick, like porridge, so I had to add extra liquid. For that reason, I recommend using less than the pound of lentils called for; somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 pound should work well.

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb lentils, washed and picked over
10 cups vegetable stock
1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons white coriander seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 small potatoes, scrubbed and diced
10 ounces fresh spinach, well washed, stems removed and chopped
2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, with leaves, sliced
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
salt, to taste
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
paper-thin slices lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy soup pot, combine cleaned lentils, stock (or water), chili, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to very low and let simmer, partially covered, about 30 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and spinach, cover again and let simmer another 15 minutes. Add the butternut squash. Cover again and let simmer while you do the next step.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onion and sauté until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and garlic and sauté another 3 minutes, stirring often. Add this mixture to the soup; deglaze the skillet with a little soup and add the pan contents to the pot. Add salt, taste for seasoning.
  • Just before serving, add the lemon juice, stir well and taste again for seasoning. Serve hot with a lemon slice floating on top of each bowl of soup.
