Method
Step 1 of 4
Heat the sunflower oil in a heavy-based saucepan, add the garlic, ginger, red chilli, onion and smoked paprika and cook, stirring, over a medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the carrots, lentils, cream and stock and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2 of 4
Meanwhile, to make the caramelized onions, heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion and cook over a low heat for 12-15 minutes or until caramelized and golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm.
Step 3 of 4
Using an electric stick blender, blend the lentil mixture in the pan until smooth, then season well.
Step 4 of 4
Ladle into bowls, add a dollop of crème fraiche and scatter with chopped coriander leaves and the caramelized onions. Sprinkle with a little smoked paprika before serving.
