Notes and Tips
A’des Bi-Husrum is originally prepared by using verjuice not lemon juice, but some people now are using lemon juice in this dish like I did.
Verjuice “Arabic: Husrum” is the pressed juice of unripened grapes, and we usually prepare it at home by juicing the unripened grapes in a juicer or you can use the blender but you have to get very pure juice, then boil the juice for few minutes and pour the boiled juice to airtight bottles then cover the juice with olive oil which helps to protect it, and store in cool dry dark place, you have to store in the refrigerator once you open it. Verjuice is used in cooking or in salad dressing.
Some people add crushed garlic to the ghee when they heat it and they add the ghee with the sauteed garlic to the dish, and this is an option.
If you want to reheat the dish and you noticed that it is thickened, or you stored the dish in the fridge and you want to reheat the leftovers, so all you have to do is to reheat with continues stirring and the dish will return to the required consistency, and it is okay to add some water while you are reheating it.
Oh my, Dimah, once again you have that perfect combination of beautiful, clean, bright, photos to illustrate the most appealing recipe. Yum, at every level.

This looks refreshing and light. Ghee is almost never used in the United States, which is a pity since it definitly changes the taste of a dish.
this looks a little like dal but better love it
I love lentils and i am always looking for new recipes using them in flavorful ways. That lemon juice must have given it a wonderful tangy flavor.

This is my kinda soup! I have never used so much parsley in a soup. I mainly use it as a flavoring in small quantities. Unless of course I am having taboulhi. I am really curious to try this soup.
Beautiful blog !

Mmm, this looks very similar to a red lentil soup we eat in Turkey. So good. We use lemon juice too but I really like the idea of the juice of the unripened grapes.

Beautiful dish!
I love lentil soup and this looks particularly good with the lemon juice and flatbread on the side, lovely bright images too :)
Love lentil soup. This recipe sound wonderful. I’m interested to know why you cook the water, onion, and parsley seperate, and then add it to the lentils. I would have thrown it all in there together!! I will try it this way though. :)
It sounds so hearty and comforting…yum.
I love all kind of soups and I love lentils… It looks really delicious… and I totally agree when you say to serve it with some toasted bread!
