Lentil & Peanut Soup

Slow Cooker

Inspired by a very vague childhood cookery memory (possibly from a school trip) and based on a recipe I adapted from one on www.thefoodiecorner.gr I like this a lot.

Overview

Timing:

Produces:

10 Hours

6 Servings @ 285 calories

  • 2 Tbsp tomato puree

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  1. Add all ingredients (except for the peanut butter) into the slow cooker

  2. Cook on LOW for 9 hours

  3. Add the peanut butter and stir until dissolved

  4. Cook on HIGH for a further hour
