All day lentil and ham soup

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 8 – 10 hours

Ingredients

1 kg smoked ham hock
10 cups water
500 g green or brown lentils
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 onions, finely chopped
3-4 celery sticks, chopped
4-6 carrots, cut into chunks
2-3 potatoes, cut into chunks
3-4 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt and milled black pepper to taste

Method

Place all the ingredients in a heavy casserole. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook at 100°C for 8 – 10 hours or until the meat and lentils are very tender.

Remove the ham and pull off the meat, discarding skin, fat and bone. Skim the fat from the top of the soup and check seasoning.

Blend coarsely, add the shredded ham and reheat if necessary.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with croutons.
