Waiting for a cook
Egypt
Shorbat ads is the orange lentil soup of Egyptian winters and Ramadan tables: red lentils cooked with onion, carrot, tomato and a little potato until they fall apart, blended smooth and seasoned with cumin, then served with a squeeze of lemon and crisp fried bread or toasted pita. It is cheap, filling and ready in half an hour, and every Egyptian family has it on the stove when the weather turns.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 12 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
