Ingredients
  • 1 T coconut oil (I use Tanna Farms)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced into small cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 t ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 chipotle chilli, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 400gm can black beans
  • ½ c dried brown lentils, rinsed
  • 2 ½ c chicken stock
  • 1 t cumin powder
  • 1 t oreganum
  • 1 t sweet paprika
  • ½ t chilli flakes (optional)
  • 2 T apple cider vinegar
  • ½ t salt
  • a good grinding of black pepper
  • dollop of natural yoghurt or sour cream to serve
  • fresh coriander, finely chopped to serve
Instructions
  1. Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over a medium heat, add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic and ginger and cook until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped chipotle chilli (omit if not using), black beans (undrained), brown lentils and chicken stock, cover and bring to the boil. Turn down to simmer for 30-35 minutes until the lentils are tender.
  2. Add the cumin powder, oreganum, sweet paprika, chilli flakes (if using) and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Using a stick blender, process until smooth (or you could transfer to a food processor).
  4. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately, with grainy bread and a dollop of natural yoghurt or sour cream on the top, finishing with the chopped coriander.
