Ingredients and Directions
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. Solspring® Biodynamic® Coconut Oil
1 medium onion, diced
½ tsp. Solspring® Real Salt® Ancient Fine Sea Salt
1 tsp. freshly cracked Solspring® Biodynamic® Whole Black Peppercorn
2 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. smoked paprika
4 cups broth, vegetable or chicken (or water)
2 cups crushed tomatoes
1 cinnamon stick (or ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon)
1 ½ cups cooked brown or green lentils (about 1 can)
1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas (about 1 can)
¼ lb. Solspring® Biodynamic® Organic Angel Hair Durum Wheat Pasta (about 8 nests), broken into approximately 1-inch pieces
½ cup chopped cilantro
½ cup flat-leaf parsley
2 Tbsp. olive or avocado oil
Directions
Melt the coconut oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and salt, stir to combine, and let cook, stirring occasionally until the onions have softened and developed some color (about 7-10 minutes).
Add your garlic, celery, ginger, turmeric, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Add the broth, tomatoes, cinnamon stick, cooked lentils, chickpeas, and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, then add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 10-15 minutes).
Serve immediately with fresh herbs, and a generous drizzle of olive or avocado oil, and enjoy!
