Good Friends, Good Food
This month’s recipe, Shorba Ads (Lentil Soup),
came to me from my Egyptian friend, Fatma "Hatti" Slaton.
I first met Hatti on the internet while chatting with my
Egypt-loving group of friends and really enjoyed getting to know
her. Hatti is a very warm and fun-loving friend. We met in person
when a group of us who love Egypt, decided to meet in Cairo and
take a trip together in 1999.
 Being a very
gracious Egyptian woman, Hatti (which is short for Hatshepsut)
helped me find my galabeya during our Nile cruise and then helped
all of the girls in our group get ready for the on-board Galabeya
Party that night, arranging our scarves and giving us that ‘perfect’
exotic look with the eyeliner and eye shadow.
Alf shukr, habebti Hatti, for the great memories!!!
Hatti’s Shorba Ads
Place washed and picked over lentils, carrots and chopped
onions in water and simmer covered for one hour. Mix oil, flour,
salt and spices in a bowl. Add ¼ cup soup to mixture and stir
well. Pour the mixture into the soup and let simmer until the
lentils are well cooked and the soup is creamy. Add lemon juice
and simmer 5 more minutes. If desired, garnish with lemon slices.
