Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add onion and carrots, and sauté for five minutes, stirring occasionally. When the onions are soft and translucent add the garlic and sauté for another minute, stirring occasionally until fragrant.

Stir in the stock, lentils, corn, cumin, curry powder (plus saffron and cayenne, if using) until combined. Let it cook until the soup reaches a simmer. Then cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the lentils are completely tender. If you wish to have a thick soup, blend the soup using a blender until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest and juice until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, garnished with an extra fresh slice of lemon if desired.

Yield : 4 servings

In a medium-size saucepan bring the water to boil. Sprinkle the oatmeal over the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps forming. Add salt and reduce the heat to low and allow the porridge to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for another day. To reheat, simply add a little hot water or milk to thin out the porridge and then place it in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until warm.
