Add 8 cups of water and kobmu, and bring to a boil. Once everything boils add the spices in (salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric and paprika) simmer for about 20 minutes. When done cooking, discard of the kombu and serve the lentil soup (stew) with fresh avocado cut on top and a red cabbage salad.
Below, I’ve attached a picture of how to serve this meal differently to adults and children. Kids don’t like when their food is “touching”, so make everyones lives easier and serve their food separately.
Enjoy!
