Step by Step guide

Step 1

Setting aside some tomatoes and garlic for the bruschetta, let's first prepare the base of the dish — the lentil soup.

Step 2

Finely chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, and chili pepper, and sauté them in olive oil. At the end of the sautéing, add the lentils, and when they turn golden, add water and then cook. The cooking time depends on the state of the lentils — they should soften. Finally, add diced tomatoes and garnish the soup with cilantro leaves.

Step 3

Now we can start preparing the bruschetta — the warm bread will be the perfect complement to the soup, and it cooks in just seconds! Place the finished white bread in the oven and bake until crispy. Dice the remaining tomatoes, add strips of basil, garlic, and salt to taste, drizzle with olive oil, and mix thoroughly.
