Greek fakes | Greek lentil soup recipe - Cooked by Alexandra
Fakes (pronounced fah-kes) or Greek lentil soup is a great one pot wonder and is ideal for the colder weather. Fakes don’t require much effort to make. Fakes are packed full of vegetables, protein and fibre, which makes them a really healthy meal. They’re also vegan. It’s really important to prepare the lentils before hand. It’s common for little sticks or stones to be present in lentils from when they are harvested and these need to be removed. The lentils also have to be well rinsed. I rinse mine until the water comes out clear. The lentils have to be parboiled. After you have drained the parboiled lentils, you’ll notice how dark the water is. Parboiling them helps to remove the dark colour produced by cooking lentils. Some grey foam forms on the surface of the water as the lentils boil - don’t forget to skim that off the water. The soup comes together quickly after that. It’s a matter of throwing things in the pot and letting time do the rest. Finish the fakes off with vinegar (or fresh lemon juice) and salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy with fresh crusty bread.
The soup is much loved in my household and I hope it becomes one that you’ll make often too.
